Seriously, are you trying to say someone would commence the takeoff without checking the annunciator panel or ignore an annunciator?

I watched a program last night where there were 2 separate accidents in the US involving DC9s/MD80 where pilots routinely pulled a circuit breaker which disabled the takeoff configuration warning system to remove nuisance warnings because they were taxiing on one engine with takeoff range thrust. When they missed the pretakeoff check to ensure they had takeoff flap configuration... guess what.... there was no warning...... in excess of 100 pax lost their lives. Gobsmacking!
