I am posting this again here so that anyone who hasn't seen it can watch it. In the aftermath of this latest crash and with JW411's comments above, it seems an apposite moment:

This guy might have got out of ground effect with a bit less nose-up attitude and slowly bleeding off the flaps, but he might not have.

As they say, however, a superior pilot uses his superior judgement to avoid getting into situations where he needs to use his superior skill.
