If you are just a passenger, like I am, then I have this question to ask of you:-
Do you think that it is always safer to land the aircraft than to continue on three engines?
I know virtually nothing about flying aircraft of any size, but one thing I have learned from reading the other very long thread on this topic is that the answer to that question is "no".

If you think the answer is "yes", may I please suggest that you learn a bit about flying from the experts here before revisiting your opinion. Otherwise it is, in fact, you who would be guilty of the arrogance which you currently ascribe to others.
