I did not, but no matter how open you could be, your theory is only one possibility among dozens of others and I really believe that, bar a similar emergency on a personal experience, you have no right to claim tour theory as representing the truth.
As I have said before, no airliner flying here, but I know how I've got myself into a tight spot once. I have, on a small scale, experienced how the cheese layers align and found myself in difficulty that could have easily become very very nasty.

I know, I had no CRM training, I had no rigid checklists for every possible situation, only very rudimentary memory items, but the basic mechanism is the same: stress is the enemy of analysis. You get stressed, you fail, you fail, you get more stress.

So while I don't want to brag with my mafus, I think I have a pretty good idea of what the brain does when things get nasty.
