I do believe that all comes down to training.
Few have probably ever used a full pedal and muscle memory means they either don't put the boot in or end up with the one foot pushing against the other.
I really don't think that shearing a pitch link, or it never reaching its hours features in the thought process.

Most of us would rather not think about what is going on in the mechanical bits. If we did, we wouldn't get into the damn thing to start
