It's not hard to image someone landing on a lit runway...

Remember the Taipei SQ accident? He used a lit runway that had construction equipment halfway down it. For every countermeasure, closing off one accident scenario seems to open up another.

As I explain to my kids, its all about identifying the failure modes and making yourself aware of the traps as best as you can. Perhaps we have got to the point where introducing more defences actually become counterproductive.
