I'm pretty sure that the common factor between the two scenarios isn't that it was a BA744 Captain? I'd hazard a guess that the common link between the two is that wingtips were struck.
You write that you were LUCKY enough not to scrape the wingtips of your DC-10, but do you consider this luck or skill on your part? I think that, in situations such as these, I'd always struggle to criticize from the position of a perfect flying record. Would you be prepared to share your biggest aviation faux pas which, on any other day, could have contributed to a hull loss, but on that day you were LUCKY?
If, by some minimal chance, you have none to share then I'd struggle to conclude more than you are a liar or you were unaware of the event unfolding. Any other conclusion would make you super-human.
In no way is this intended to be a personal criticism, it's just a question of perspective.
