The statement is foolish.
but this is even better!



By the way, llan-fool, 'pilot error' is extremely rare. Human error amongst aviators is many thousand times more common.
In 33 years of professional flying that has to be the most stupid pointless statement I have ever heard.

“A 40 percent decline in pilot error-related mishaps is very impressive. Pilot error has long been considered the most prominent contributor to aviation crashes,” said the study’s lead author,Susan P. Baker, MPH, a professor with the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy and the Bloomberg School’s Department of Health Policy and Management.
