ummmm...
I was not detailing the recovery actions and insinuating they were the same. At least that is what I think you are getting at...was it??

The purpose was to distinguish LTA and LTE which are now so often mis-labelled that "LTE" has crept into our vernacular as the sole cause of all ills. It has now even crept into the accident reports - see the skycrane thread as another example. I am concerned about this ever increasing mistake as it also increases the chance of an incorrect diagnosis and thus reduces the possiblity of a successful selection of the appropriate recovery.

See the thread I linked above: and the video. Then read the amount of "It was LTE" comments that indicate exactly what I am talking about.

Reminds me of the VRS versus insufficient power issue as well....
