Bloody hell cant be that difficult to remember... sodding crabs!
Now my (pretty poor) banter is over, I can think of a number of incidents where gear was lowered a little later than normal (some a few days late). It's not a new phenomenom and so long as there's a human in the loop it'll carry on (that is NOT to say that computers are infalible either!).
Whether you see 'Human Factors,' or whatever today's version is called, as a 'reason' or 'excuse,' I would think anyone taking the moral high ground is taking a risk... after all, it's not as though you know you won't do the same yourself - there but for the grace of God and all that
