Drive safe.

According to your logic, I am not authorized to question the auto industry, because I am not part of it ("I am not of the same trade").
In the end your argumentation means "shut up, don´ t ask any questions, let the "experts" do what THEY think is right to do! Maybe you know this "wise joke" by Peter Ustinov: "The last words you will hear when the earth explodes in a big fiery ball will be the voice of an expert, saying "this is technically impossible"...
But - between us - I will tell you that I think you are right: there are other fields which are far more obscure than airtransport.
