Flare Dammit,
If Uncle Joe was comfortable doing autos he wouldn't be having the difficulties he is, would he? How you feel isn't always a good indication of what you can do safely.
Lu,
Firstly, not everyone here is highly experienced. Doesn't stop them saying what they think, and it shouldn't either. Secondly, they're really only disagreeing as to details. Look at threads on any other forum, eg the arguments about carb heat on final on the Instuctors Forum; you'll find loads of similar minor disagreements. As you say, there can be times when both sides are right.
