Yes.
I have neither the time to make all the errors already made that resulted in those " old" incident/accident reports, nor the skills required to get myself safely out of all of the different situations that arose from the sequence of events that led up to those reports being written. Little snippets of "hangar chatter" about those "close calls" have stopped many of us from lining up the last couple of holes in the cheese slices. Even when an incident report is 50 years old, reading it may just place a small paragraph in the library of our minds that comes to the fore when it's needed.
Or is learning about ones craft no longer fashionable?
