Word games? I simply responded to what you wrote; don't blame or criticise me for your inability to write what you meant. And now I come to think about it, "and/or" doesn't make any sense either.

Nice rant. The "authorities" are just as culpable as the ego-driven grandpas, IMO. The FAA could mandate VNAV-coupled approaches, or if unable to be flown by a type it could mandate an ILS. It could improve the charting. It could improve crew oversight. Companies could improve crew performance. The list goes on and on. To criticise crews for trying to do the job with the tools they have is simplistic and won't achieve anything.
