Maybe its time to reconsider this whole situation?

Have any of you stopped to think about why we still have this as an issue to consider? I haven't heard of any airplanes blowing up while fueling for a long time. Could this be another carry over from the old days when some guy pulled a hose up on the wing next to a hot cylinder maybe? As much as I respect the guys that have been around longer than me I see a lot of wives tales in our business. Our technology has progressed quite a bit in the last few years and a lot of rules need to be reconsidered in my opinion. This would be one of them.
