Anyone, professional or private, that flies a new type (and certainly an uncertified one) is running a substantially greater risk. My sympathies extend to all those who are persuaded to do so as passengers, especially when they are children and lack informed consent. Likewise to any unfortunates on the ground caught up in accidents.

So if that's your point I'm with you 100%.

The project only upsets me because of the wild claims about planned performance with absolutely no evidence to back them up - a classic sales technique - keen wealthy amateurs drink this sort of stuff like coolaid and throw their money (their prerogative of course) at Hill. If just one of those guys or girls ends up dead because of the short-cuts Hill is taking (using the experimental category) then it will be too much.
But that's not what you said.
