Err... PTH, I don't think I was part of the Palm 90 tangent! Though I'd say that incident was probably one of the most fascinating examples of poor CRM (at a company level as well as in the flight deck) I know of. Also, I think p51guy is right. Having an "override" in effect actually increases system complexity in an engineering sense as well as in terms of the checklists.
