It's not about willingness to comply. It's about grasping the significance of it.
Shaping people towards understanding should be the guiding principle. Not punishing those who can't yet see. Would you punish a dyslexic child for failing to read? A deaf child, for not hearing?
A missed trigger flag is a teaching opportunity. What would you like Dr. Bob to understand, that he apparently failed to grasp? What feeling would you like him to imagine?
