You might have just read into the thread, i don't blame anybody for that. It however distorts some arguments that have been raised earlier. A lot of things you come up with are not exactly what i said, you are correct in a lot of things, but i had treated those earlier.
I will not bore you to death in elaborating again.

With a lot of automation i thought flight safety will improve, and it did. With some sops i thought a better cooperation with the buddy and machine could happen, and it did.
But with automation coupled with sops that oblige its use, i think we went the wrong way.
Sometimes automation should only be at our disposal and basically nice to use and not need to use or we lose the skill to replace them.
Same goes with all too rigid sops.
