At some point, the relentlessness with which you pursue this single line of argument becomes comparable to the relentlessness with which the incident crew lined up on the taxiway.
Nothing more or less than a human frailty.
Since we were in caves, progress has been marked by two endeavours
1. Making it easier for the human to do what they do
2. Removing the human from having to do anything at all
Any argument that doesn't balance these is flying in the face of logic.
Any argument that doesn't give primacy to the second answer is flyng in the face of history.
