Sorry, but I do not wish to be flown by someone with bits missing.
Basil, reading your profile you appear to have the credibility to post here and for that reason would strongly suggest that you retract your comment. The reason should be obvious.

Besides, the press are doing a good enough job bashing our profession and this individual without such ill judged support.

As an aside, in the same AAIB bulletin, another crew managed to generate hard EGPWS warnings arising from an unstable approach. This did'nt make the headlines but I would warrant any professional pilot reading both reports would conclude that limited cognitive ability far outweighs the risk of corrected physical ability.
