is it better to design a plane, or indeed any machine, that adapts itself to the man, or is it better to design a machine and have the man adapt himself to the machine?
So ... make automation that has the capability to 'adapt' itself to the 1,000 or 2,000 or 3,000 pilots that will operate it during it's lifetime or ... have everyone KNOW EXACTLY what the machine will do without variation if operated according to instructions?
Make the adaptable human adapt or make the software adaptable? How much more opportunity would there then be for the human to ask: What's it doing now?
