Errrm, you haven’t been paying attention, megan.
Ironically (given your suggestion that I’m a Skygod along with Lookleft), I quote my post in response to Lookleft’s suggestion that I claimed I’d only ever made one mistake:
from my post #1136:
How about you, LL? Have you ever made a mistake that could have resulted in a bad outcome, but luckily didn’t? (I've made plenty.)
From my post #1141:
Another of you Monday morning quarterbacks has already identified the operational lesson: Don't run out fuel. I've already learnt that lesson. I once landed and uploaded an amount of fuel that was exactly the amount of usable fuel stated in the flight manual for the aircraft. Errors in enroute calculations. Never made the same mistake in the 27 years since. But there for the grace of the Quod (may you be touched by the Quod's noodly appendage).
As you say: we all make mistakes nearly every flight.
I think you’re correct, KK: Down and Welded’s finely crafted rhetoric pegs him.
