Maybe its my rebellious streak
But I do like to challenge conventional thinking
That does not mean that conventional thinking is wrong but should be discussed as often in aviation nothing changes fast and often we are ingrained into thinking one way.
it has always been done that way so always should is a major theme in aviation
One word of caution never take anything said in these forums as being right as we all make mistakes or get it wrong ! experts and Armchair pilots alike.
then the threads turn into ego bashing or ego protecting
One thing for sure there are many egos in aviation and a lot of willy waving
