This is all a bit childish - but whatever floats your boat.

It is all very well rehearsed.

1) A conventional forced landing that ends with a reasonable landing roll will turn out fine,
2) A conventional forced landing that ends with pilot loss of control, unseen power cables, large boulders, ditches, wire fences or other debri that cant be seen from x feet may work out less well,
3) In view of 2 some argue the chute will result in a more consistent and predictable outcome.

You can argue the toss as much as you like and it would be interesting to read anything new anyone has to say. As it is this is just the usual well rehearsed old ground, with the usual less than well informed opinions.

Don't let me stop you though, but it worries me a little that intelligent pilots wouldn't want to have a more intelligent conversation rather than distorting past discussion (assuming they have taken the trouble to read that).
