This utter rubbish was from an approved TRTO. That attitude, I believe, has lead to the deaths of a significant number of people.
I could have written that. My thoughts precisely.

I can only think that this is your first jet type. The LPC makes an impossible situation bearable - but still not good. By selecting one MSN, you still don't get to see the differences, and each time you "read" the manual, the information is different. That makes it terribly difficult to form a mental picture of the aircraft systems, and a working knowledge of how systems can differ.
