Probably the most critical factor in failures of any kind, whether they be airlines, societies, or simple pilot error, is folly and self-deception.
Cool. I’m not going to argue with that. It does make me wonder though..... this is a genuine question and is coming from a good place , (ie not antagonistic).......if you ( Manwell) were to take part in a survey on commonly held view points and beliefs, and then separately an IQ test, do you think you’d fall within one standard deviation on both of them? Either of them? None of them?
I’m interested to know what you think and I am not planning any smart arsed response.
Cheers
