Absolutely, and where is the "final" decision? Ultimate action is by its nature the result of 100 per cent confidence or utter defeat (or a "guess"). A routine warning isn't a warning, it is a fruit fly landing on your nose, and defying a state of the Art set up isn't a guarantee of failure either. I say a successful merging of the best of both modalities would improve the safety record. (Vastly?)

Certainly leaving petty and stubborn bias against one or the other behind has to help. If the safety record degrades further, we are in danger of doing that very thing, "One or the Other". At this point, unfamiliar with either accident as I am, I'll just watch here on in.
