I will admit my error. I didn’t read it as closely as you. However, you are so keen to nitpick you completely ignore my other points.

20 knots during a Raptor acceleration could happen in the blink of an eye. And who the hell would have noticed the pilots doing it?

I think everyone is being too keen to cast aspersions without putting themselves in the same position as the mishap pilot.

It’s very easy after the event to find fault, apportion blame and think of ways to avoid it in future.

It’s just like the classic gear up landing. When it happens we all think ‘what an idiot, I would never do that’...

Apparently, I’m the only one on this forum who isn’t perfect.

Must have a word with myself.
