I’m obviously not talking about hydraulic or serious failure that is a no brainer to go back. Once again it’s all about good judgement and airmanship.
In aviation it pays to be conservative, and the reason for 3 computers isn't just redundancy, but being able to vote. I for sure would go back to the gate with any no-dispatch discrepancy. The fact that you and I (both experienced pilots) disagree about this is all the proof I need to conclude it should not be left to the judgement of the pilot.
I don't fly single engine myself but as far as I can remember you cannot fly commercial single engine with pax. Do you think that is a n extremely conservative attitude from the regulator?
