Dutch Roll - precisely the way it should be I think. The more a go-around is seen as routine, the less chance you've got of pushing a bad situation into a position from which you cannot recover.

After all, you're pointing several hundred tonnes of metal at the ground at nearly 300 km/h - if people imagine that it is possible to get that right every single time, then they are deluding themselves.
