The common thinking in aviation is to find answers, post crash, and use those answers as a preventative to future similar problems...this is of course a hypothetical solution to a real problem.

When an aircraft simply pulls the throttles back post V1, only to taxi back to a hangar, find a mechanic...it's not even an incident, never makes the NTSB reporter, much less an FAA call...and how many times has this happened...more then you realize.

The myopic view of aviation is to look at all the accidents, typically performed by pilots at their worst, then somehow find consensus with those sad folks, rather then look at the pilots who took a potential newsworthy accident, turned it into a non issue...the answer therein lies with those that have successfully found outcomes to the problem at hand, not trying to find answers in the rubble of idiots who couldn't.

I'm not saying we shouldn't look at accidents, but why should I be held to a SOP because some moron crashed the plane, because he made a bad decision, or by some airline that hires from the bottom of the resume pile, using 'Flex to the Fence, etc etc.???
