The complexity is by and large manufactured of whole cloth. In addition, in dumbing down the threshold of operation, the "complexities" become sequestered in myth, and therefore become unmitigable by tacit agreement; operators will not be trained to them.

No one is better able (potentially) to handle a dynamic situation than the one who is present. To suggest that solutions have already been discerned for every possibility, and Programmed into an airplane, is not only myopic, it has the aroma of Death about it.

Case in Point. "We think Auto Trim UP into a Stall is a solution." On what Planet? Rather than allow that, why was it not aggressively disallowed? Yet in overspeed, the THS is locked in place, when at least arguably, it has a function in correcting PITCH to corral speed.

Independent of training level, how is that desirable?

Explain?
