Agreed but I never said it was ideal or in what circumstances it was acceptable.
I will repeat one thing though and that is you cannot fly at all without control.
AvP 970 (as was in the 60s) which specified the flying qualities of UK military aircraft required them to be stable at all times in the circuit. I needed to certificate an aeroplane that was very unstable in pitch when in the circuit. This was achieved to the satifaction of all concerned by giving it very good control.
