The person behind Lookforshooter, is either a very misguided non pilot, or a pilot who should be identified and reported to his authority under the terms of a safety report; in either instance, s/he could be added to a Pprune ignore list.
Alternatively, granting Lookforshooter some semblance of intellect, the debate is with an individual who wishes to devil subjects with very biased views. In some circumstances there could be merit in eliciting information this way. However, there is a fine line between such arguments and the promotion of false information which the unsuspecting or unwary pilot reading Pprune might take as the truth, and thus reduce flight safety.
In this forum, this form of debate is hazardous at least, and IMHO unethical amongst such a well respected open minded group.
I do not know which of the above views is more accurate.
I still have a choice, in both what I read and what I believe; I align my understanding with the peer reviewed, expert, and majority views to help maintain a good safety record in our industry.
