No, it can't.
Yes, it can. If you are unable to do so you only lack imagination.
But when, on the occasions that it is pilot error, there is still a culture among (other) pilots of denying the fact.
That's my point.
You are ranting away a perfectly sound suggestion to install a simple, yet effective safety-enhancing device.
Apparantly you rather blame the pilots than seriously and pro-actively try to think about ways to improve the safety of the aviation system. Unfortunatly, that simple-minded judgemental attitude has cost lives in the past and will cost lives in the future.
Since you yourself may be one of those future victims, your rant is pretty ignorant and very counter-productive.
