The ever more rigorous application of strictly enforced SOPs, while in normal ops is a GOOD THING, can lead to trouble in abnormal ops.
It encourages new pilots to think that they are 'bulletproof' as long as the stick to the SOP.
Flying is a dangerous thing, made safe with much work.
There is NO substitute for experience and a great respect for ones own limitations, the aircrafts limitations and the weathers complete lack of limitations.
Be wary.
