Ok, I'll bite the bait, with tongue in cheek and a twink in the eye.

Are you implying, that the "magenta FMS whizz no-pants-in-seat" set is actually not a legion of underachieveing brats but rather a product of a generation of greyhair examiners and course developers who (under pressure to reach the required output levels and cost competetivness) took the easy way out. Using automation without need to explain what it does and what never was intended to do?

Yours,
FD (the un-real)
