You shouldn't resist safety enhancements because they might drag a pilot into something he shouldn't be.
There's a professor called John Adams who's written a lot about 'risk compensation'. He argues that effect of safety measures in cars such as seatbelts have largely been negated because drivers feel safer and therefore drive more quickly. In contrast, life for pedestrians becomes ever more treacherous.

It's controversial...
