Ah yes; I forgot Rule No 2. If you break it it's your fault!! I can't remember anyone pulling the rudder off a DC3, Britannia or similar however.
I sometimes wonder if we chase the 'efficiency' God too hard. My other bugbear is underslung thrust lines which give wonderful cruise efficiency but can bite badly if you get too slow. Again, it was the drivers fault.
