The scientific naivety of pilots constantly astounds me.
Aircraft fly because science works.
Aircraft and indeed spacecraft have evolved since first flight because scientists worked out how they work, and how to make them fly faster, higher and more efficiently using... I hate to say it... science.
Now that science says something that economists don’t want to hear, the pilots all go right wing and agree with the economists: scientists must be full of ****.... this can’t be right because it might affect my nice little world.
