    Good point but bear in mind that the results of a training session,
    although a good indicator of subsequent performance, is not a guarantee.

    Later comes (in rough order of occurance):
    marital problems,
    low blood sugar,
    twitterpatedness,
    supervisor or manager malfeasance
    dread,
    apathy,
    effects of drugs
    the other 22 personalities
    and a whole host of other things that make the current person different
    from the one who was in training --- or who was on the job yesterday.
