the deadly (mind) set

Going through the pages of David Beatys excellent book, the "naked pilot", a possible scenario is the following:
- pilots discuss the reverser inop several times during approach
- When landing, the PF simply discards this engine with the inop reverser from his mind when retarding (since the engine does not add to the braking)
- "retard" warning shuts up after one engine is idle
- the rest is pretty well known know
