What error, exactly? If someone makes a choice and doesn’t take responsibility for that choice, there’s no error in judgment calling that person irresponsible. Mitigating circumstances like a person’s childcare situation are only mitigating circumstances because there was irresponsibility in the first place to mitigate. It’s still irresponsibility. There was no error.
Red flags aren’t always accurate. That’s the point, it’s a quick gut check, not a foolproof way to analyze someone’s worth. Your neighbor who stares too long and had red stains on his shirt could be a surgeon with myopia, but there are some red flags.
Or maybe it’s because I have a special needs child and I can’t always leave them alone, even for a minute or two?
When you make snap judgments based on initial appearance, that’s precisely the kind of error you can make.

Then we should probably call it a “red flag” instead of a “dead giveaway” (per post title) :-)
