sadly those of us who are placed in positions of responsibilty realise that flight safety is beyond the controllers remit when dealing with the poor coverage of various sensors and indeed radios. We cannot attempt to take the flying element away from the aircrews, they generally have far better SA than we do. Unfortunately owing to legal requirements, a substantial degree of ass-covering has to be employed, or god forbid our lords and masters have a blemish on their career due to personnel they were supervising making an error.
There are a good dergree of factors that can seriously erode the SA of the controller, and I consider that micro-management by supervisors is a contributory factor on a daily basis.
Who would be entirely responsible in the tragic event of an accident with a/c under your control. I would wager that you would be on your own and the rats would flee from the scuppers in this eventuality, and leave you in the hangmans noose.
