Grrr Overpitched

Hi there overpitched, unless you know something that you're keeping back from everyone else as to the cause, don't you think you're being a tad judgemental????
I assume from your post that you're the model of piloting perfection, and await with baited breath for your reply!
"Surely if the wind was only 3 knots you would have to be trying fairly hard to get yourself into vrs."
Assuming that they are landing into wind, and not down wind, a light head wind combined with a quick stop would be the "ideal" situation to get into vortex ring state, wouldn't you agree?
I'd be interested to hear you opinion of how VRS occurs
