Thank you for your erudite advice and concise post
AerialPerspective; I shall give both the respect they deserve.
The term "Mahon disciple" is not inappropriate. There are users here who, rather than debate a point will simply reply
"because the Hon. Justice Mahon declared......" as if that in itself clinches the argument. This either represents blind faith or blunted intellect or both; so in using the term "Mahon disciple" I was therefore applying the benefit of the doubt.
There were mitigating factors in this disaster which have been well documented but all they do is alter the
degree to which the crew were responsible. Because the crew themselves still made many unforced errors even acknowledging the bad training and bad luck they had; those mitigating factors do not make the crew responsibility zero.
