At the same level we can state:
Amazing that, to some, 4-holers having lost one of them seem as safe as Pampers because nothing more can go wrong to harm it .......
See the irony?
No one basically compared a twin to a 4-holer her. A twin losing a donkey is on emergency and will go down asap, ETOPS or 60min, whatever.
A 4-holer has the option to continue until it runs dry. Sure thing.
BUT, what we said, and tried to provide some arguments, and have been sometimes ridiculed as if we were pure beginners, is that this still needs careful consideration, because it IS an abnormal situation after all.
Simply take this as a contribution to a discussion and not an admonishment! Some reactions are more than condescending.
Leaves the question as to with which skipper you would prefer to be a FO raising some concern about a decision: The one listening to your argument, even very conservative ones, or the one telling you off in a condescending way, pointing out to the prowesses of a 4-holer ......
