BPF,

you're fine dumbing down to basic principles here, if nothing else it makes your posts accessible to more readers and you've probably noticed that anything beyond a basic question more often than not goes unanswered on Pprune anyway (not including Jaba's questions because there were a few things wrong with them, and his approach of "I know best because I've been on a course but I can't tell you why" was never going to go down well!) so advanced topics are generally beyond this sub-forum but there are other more specialised forums for that kind of stuff.

Grey market information being that which though not wrong, if undertaken by an untrained pilot could be unsafe, or damaging, or otherwise results in an aircraft being operated very close to, or beyond its approved limitations. Some readers here might have difficulty distinguishing that information. Worse, it's usually that information which has that extra spark of interest.

Believe me, there are a lot of stupid things I have done in aircraft, and some more than once, which I would never mention here, for fear another reader, without the wisdom to realize how foolish it was, might attempt it. There are other things I do now with care, which are planned to go beyond limits, which I do discuss, but with the warning that these are planned flight tests, not routine flying.
Pilot DAR, looking out for the other guy is nice but why is it up to you to police other peoples thoughts? For me that's the same way of thinking that leads to statements such as children that play violent video games become violent. As if they had no access to violence from other sources. Readers without wisdom will probably find ways to hurt themselves or break something so I don't think you need to hide anything to try and protect them because as it turns out monkey will do by itself without seeing (reading) first.
