No worse ignorance exists, than rejection prior to investigation...

Perhaps acceptance without question?

Example. A friend was signing off a tail wheel endorsement for her student. She sat in back of the Citabria, the student in front. Citabria has foot operated brakes in front only. Instructor has none. They landed, and the student applied brakes, instructor said "get off the brakes, get off". She had to endure the aircraft rolling over on to its top because she could not prevent her student from screwing things up.....

Bonin was pulling the whole time, even when Robert says: "you climb, GO DOWN"..... Captain DuBois says: "Eh,CLIMB!!". Bonin says... "I have been..."


Well then. We evolve... Sometimes being stubborn can kill, or trash a Citabria.
