Nor did I imply that you did - my intent was that the context of the discussion at the time (which related to monitoring inexperienced pilots by "following through" on the controls) should have made my meaning more plain. Taken out of context it looks like a more prescriptive statement than was intended.
I don't want to argue with you - it's just a basic misunderstanding that I could have avoided by being clearer. Hope we can leave it there.
