This is interesting. I checked Wikipedia to see what it had to say about checklists and, after some paragraphs detailing the use and advantages of checklists, I found the following:

Intensive training including rote-learning of checklists can help integrate use of checklists with more adaptive and flexible problem solving techniques.
I agree.
