There is much benefit to going outside of just the SAS/ATT questions posed originally....so I am not being critical of anything you have said in that regard....as you and Crab both brought up good points of interest.
Technology is both a blessing and a curse.....as it adds new layers of benefit and problems both.
The key as always is knowing as much as you can about it all.
We can look to our fixed winged friends who almost very last words were something akin to "What is it doing now?" referring to the the AFCS.
Personally, I would prefer to see this discussion continue and broaden its scope as I am of the opinion it would be a nice change.
