Are we losing the plot, just a little bit? If the GR4 warrants a CWS, why doesn't every other aircraft out there warrant the same?

I'm sat reading a report whereby four USAF personnel were wiped out in their MH60 having whacked into a flock of geese (http://www.usafe.af.mil/shared/media...140709-005.pdf). It seems to me that a fair bit of pragmatism has been applied in the report; they're not hunting down the MoD for the lack of accurate goose information. Alternatively, the Tornado mid-air almost goes as far as questioning the colour of ink used on the auth sheets.

Surely we need to strike a balance here? I'm all for safety management and hazard analyses but don't we need to question things when we get into Tippex sniffing, HSE mode?
