"Is the "public" somehow a different species? Seems like there's a weird assumption that people in aviation have a different kind of brain, which the rest of us don't possess. Good job we're only employed as neurosurgeons, structural engineers, nuclear scientists and stuff..."

I don't know which of those professions you are employed in but a lot of us on here are are professional pilots. I'll bet you a £ to a bag of the proverbial that you won't find too many of us with the arrogance to post on any forums that exist for neurosurgeons, structural engineers, nuclear scientists etc about the best way to use information from the many incidents or accidents in those industries.

Aviation has a proud history of learning from the inevitable mistakes and errors that occur and there are good reasons why the information derived from those events are treated in the way that they are. I can assure you that merely serving your voyeuristic interest would not be high amongst them.
