Dan,
Your post will be informative for many crewing/ops officers and, it is, very important that they understand the life crew lead- putting themselves in your shoes so to speak. Although a CAP371 requirement, I regret that Human Factors training isn't something many UK ops/crewing/rostering officers have adequate training in.
My point about the ASR is that, in absence of a fatique risk management scheme, or an fatique crew reporting system, how do you capture fatique incidents for analysis?- it is after all an air safety issue. But, I also know it isn't always that simple and your points are well taken.
It's alway been interesting to me that there is no definition of fatique in CAP 371, The Avoidance of Fatique in Aircrew. Of course Bader defined it, but the line between tired and fatique can be very blurred and I agree, little understood.
