Your 'point' isn't being lost. Its clear as crystal. The issue is that your point is absurd, not coincident with airline procedures anywhere in the developed world and objectively dangerous.
Why you are wrong has been explained to you over and over, with examples provided by a chorus of people here yet you have acknowledged none of it, insisting instead upon your assertion despite it being backed up by no SOP known to anyone in this country, or common sense.
I don't know whats more worrying; that you maintain this belief or that you've demonstrated a personality so incredibly resistant to acknowledging and accepting when you are wrong that you cannot be told. Neither are qualities I want anywhere near me on a flight deck, let alone in command of a few hundred people.
