K.I.S.S. x K.I.C.S.

We can separate Researchers, Engineers, Designers, and Technology Professionals in two groups:

One, the people that think a lot before implementing something and always uses an Strategy (from the Greek military commander Stratego that before the battles always had a well made plan). This group normally have SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for complex things.

Kelly Johnson used this approach to design THE ANGEL, capable to fly near the coffin corner, implemented in just 80 days.

He used the Keep It Simple Stupid approach for the U2 R&D and itīs implementation.

The other group uses the Keep it Complex Stupid approach. And at pressure from the bosses deliver anything...

Letīs imagine the scenario of:

1) Crew decided to keep course going through WX.
2) Entered an unexpected WX condition.
3) Had pitotīs blocked.
4) Entered unusual attitude.
5) Stalled and descended at unusual attitude.
6) Eventually leveled (almost) and hit surface

Question:

Is that model too simple?

Finger crossing to locate FDR/CVR and be readable.

Whtīs lacking in this analysis?
