No I refuse to accept The Waddington effect in your terms.It's a bastardisation of terms used in political motive to push a point (Probably by AOPA). Maybe even to sell a book. I believe it exists but not in the extent purported in this thread. Only modern evidence was in a MIT study and that was 1.4% of aircraft availability.
Waddington Effect is borrowing the term used from CH Waddingtons biological studies . I listed all of this in a post previously.
