I cant decide if IFT is concerned that the review a) gave insufficient explanation of the advice on approach speed, or b) used an obscure phrase to illustrate the likely outcome?
Which is it?
Both seem perfectly reasonable to me. The technical advice is correct (for reasons already given) and "it'll end in tears" is a commonly used phrase meaning that something will end badly - at least in British english it is, and Pilot is a British magazine.
(I rather like "It'll end in tears". It is reminiscent of a Victorian nanny scolding Master Heston for some nursery misdemeanour before threatening a spanking with the hairbrush... Ooooh I need a cold shower now)
