to accept that the industry is encountering accidents which cannot be resolved with old style views of safety and human activity.
We have to accept a simple fact of life that no training or safety or technology regardless whether it is 'old style' or 'new style' or yet another 'style' is going to eliminate all accidents as long as humans sit behind the controls. So yes we will be 'encountering' accidents and the only goal is to keep numbers sufficiently low. They are very, very low by historical standards anyway specially in the US and the goal should rather be that the accident rates remain uniformly low throughout the world without such glaring disparities we see today between countries/continents.
