My friend, what you just posted describes the exact mentality that I saw while working there. The inability to think outside of the box, or to adapt to changing situations. The thing with flying is that sometimes it can be forgiving when you screw up. I am surprised that more planes are not falling out of the sky. The Japanese rely too much on automation in my opinion. Maybe this is why this accident happened.
But what your post proves is that 2 people can have a serious...respectful debate without name calling.
