Hi Organfreak,
I hope you don't really mean "I will NOT get on an AB, ever." because of something you've read here.
The advantage of sharing mental models on PPrune of how we think some remote failure might affect the aircraft, is that we learn from others. It would be a shame if we stopped because it was having an adverse effect on the travelling public.
Please rest assured, the vast majority of us learn something useful here and are better prepared to "take control" when needed.
