Well, 'Over-reliance' on checklists is forced upon us. We need secretaries! Normally, there is so much paperwork, that the poor cadets and JOs end up swamped in it, rather than spending the hundreds of hours watching the master at work, which is necessary to progress. Training and procedures are very different from education and paperwork. Time on board is limited, and for deck officers, i believe it should be immersed in action and observation & problem solving. Not box ticking.
