Whiskery. I implied I had a fairly good idea that many airline pilots feel Collins was neither blameless nor deserves exoneration by Parliament.

I do not care to apportion blame, that is, to assign a certain proportion of the blame to Collins, which is what apportion means. I am not keen to say he was X% to blame in the overall scheme of things, but I cannot deny I am on record as saying I think he was at least 51% to blame.

I prefer to judge each participant against a reasonable standard for the task (s)he performed, and the organisation as a whole.
