@ManaAdaSystem - You know as well as I do that there are no hard protections in Alternate Law - Lyman's trying to muddy the waters again. If he had been properly trained he would have known that Alternate Law = no hard protections. They only followed the suggestion to pull up after it was way too late (about 4000 ft I think?).
