Thank you rarelyathome. Criticism of anyone can be regarded as destructive, or constructive. Another way to look at it is to acknowledge the truism that offence can only be taken, it can't be given, and as pilots and instructors would have endured more than their fair share of highly emotive criticism, it's completely understandable that they would have developed thick skins.
To outline an idea of my thoughts won't be easy, because they are so different from what I'd initially learned that it's understandable that most would consider them heretical, and I use the religious term intentionally because flying has become based on dogma rather than true objective science.
In brief, however, the general idea is that everything we thought we knew about flying is fatally flawed, and that idea is proven every time a pilot crashes. Every time.
How's that for brief?
