Whether you lean towards or away from the arguments put forward by various posters on this topic really doesn't matter. There have been some views and concerns aired which are of importance to the pilot in training or the prospective pilot in training. The more views that get aired the more informed we all become.
I don't believe that posters should need to censor their posts to avoid offending other posters when they are meerly expressing an opinion. Certainly no one should have to apologise for stating an opinion.
