there is a certain type of person who is impervious to received common sense. I see them regularly on the water when Yacht racing. It does not matter what you try and tell them, they know better. I have no doubt that they exist in aviation as well.

In trying to detect and guard against these idiots, micro prescriptive CASA regulation is counter productive because it is so badly written, draconian, ass backwards,ill thought out and confusing it brings regulation itself into contempt.

This leads our budding aviator into the dangerous attitude that: " all these regulations are stupid and silly" just because 90% of them are stupid and silly.

Tragically this aviator did not have the skill, imagination and experience to separate out the 10% of CASA regulations that are written in the blood of those who disobeyed them.

This is the case for simple plain english FAA style regulation in my opinion.
