Care to provide your reasoning here, or is this just an opinion?
I hope this puts to rest the microsleep theory.
Homsap, I suggest you go back and re-read. The point was not that AH experienced a microsleep, but that a similar brief interruption in consciousness, such as by A-LOC or G-LOC could probably cause disorientation of a specific type during a maneuver. The specific effect is "Loss of Plan from memory."
Imagine approaching an intersection in your car and forgetting which way you intended to turn when you were already too close to the intersection to stop. What would you do? Right? Left? Straight?
