A and C.
I agree with you 100%.
I was just wondering how I'd explain it to my non aviation friends. A lot of them work in banks and JimJims point made me think.
To the outside world it looks bl**dy risky to start turning off the technology that will help get them back on to the ground safely. The pilots line (my line) would be that it shouldn't be a problem because we should be able to fly visually, but there is a very real evidence that this just isn't true.
Where do you go with the logic there?
To an outsider looking in I can see why it would be jaw on the floor time to learn that they might get on a plane being flown by a guy under training into an airport where they've switched off the (to a lay man) technology that gets you back on the ground.
I hope that this reinforces to the industry that you cannot allow your pilots to get slack at old fashioned stick and rudder flying. I really don't like phrases such 'doesn't belong in the cockpit' because it seems to play the man not the ball. (I know you didn't use that phrase)
