Ahh, sensible thinking survives in aviation; credible reality from FMS.

Agree, Magenta Line well past its usefulness. Often shown as the complete answer - click click, but failing to explain how the point to disconnect is identified or even if there is sufficient mental capacity because the focus is on failure.

No longer relevant to think ‘man or machine’ (early automation), instead think ‘man and machine’ more often as an inseparable unit: you disconnect the AP, but still depend on FD and FMS.
