About your most loved manufacturor...
There we go with the ad hominem. I am not partisan in that regard - I'm what a certain subset of geeks would call "Lawful Neutral". By that I mean I favour no manufacturer, but if I see something I'm fairly certain to be based on hearsay rather than fact, I won't be shy to point it out. For example - in your previous post you again refer to "FBW automation", when FBW and automation are two separate things.

Being in a manual did never mean "not being unknown. by smart or stupid people. Specially if it is not understood and the manual is often modified
Perhaps if one cannot be bothered to stay current in understanding the manual, one should not be doing the job.
