Heathcliff, I would say that your continued readiness to defend DrSM and attempts to shut up those offering critical comment on the flight is not actually in the interests of flight safety or learning lessons. There is, in fact, much to learn from what happened (in the report) and the point is to learn it through discussion and applying the lessons into practice and not have to learn it the hard way. The fact that these are acutally lessons that should have already been learnt and involve mistakes that need not be repeated, especially by someone teaching the subject, is a perfectly reasonable criticism which an apology does not nullify. If those charged with teaching and implementation of good practice don't actually do it, there is not much reason to be optimistic about future flight safety.
