1. airworthiness and sign off
2. accreditation and sign off
3. pilot actions and consequences or impediment to those by physiological events
all three are interconnected but has causality between been proven ?
everything cannot be lumped only into point 1…..
If you run out of argument then create a false one, is that it? No-one is saying that airworthiness should be considered alone. As Dervish has pointed out, I was merely answering D2's somewhat unique idea that having signed for it a pilot is responsible for the entire state of an aircraft including its airworthiness. Unless you share his view, I cannot see that we are in anything other than violent agreement, sorry! Indeed, the thread seems to have moved on from 'lumping' everything into point 3 of your list and now accepts that all three points are interconnected as your post states. Congratulations, we are as one!
