Your comments sat pretty maturely for me - I think you get it. Not everyone does, usually because they fly a desk or a laptop. Many writers and safety experts don't fly but they sure get it as evidenced in their excellent contributions to flight safety. People who think that SMS is the answer to keeping accident rates down don't get it. 'nuff said.
it's likely that I just have too much imagination...
For a beancounting manager, yes. For a pilot, no. For present times, also a very mild, 'yes' but like I said, it depends upon who's doing the learning.

This is an extremely complex accident with a depth of possible analysis far greater than any recent ones I can recall - there are a huge number of issues "at rest", latent, in this accident and only a few of them are technical.
