Stilg;
The only thing that sounds truly silly to me is this statement.

Stilg, You forgot Double Roman's, Low Yo-Yo's and Otto pilot. Wait, we already got Otto pilot.
The planet earth is indeed round. Think about how long that concept was HEE-HAW'd, by the righteous, only to be proved foolish beyond believe.
Although quite humorous, many Anti-Padlockers resort to Hee-Haw's. While most Pro-Padlockers provide logical arguments, if only their opinion. Padlock will probably not happen in AH anyway, so this only quadruples my amusement.
What fear does Padlock create? Got me on this one.

I am definately opposed to external views, but that is my experience. External views remove realism IMO.
I found your post well thought out. I agree with you up to one point. IMO your logic concerning experience is off.

Pilot expereince gained up to date was gained WITHOUT the use of Padlock. It is difficult to judge this comparison, as the people who are in favor of padlock, have gained their experience by USING Padlock.
I state two examples why I believe this:
1) Experienced Teamsters thought Steam Powered Trains were not worthwhile --> Experienced Steam Locomotive Engineers thought Diesel Electric Locomotives were not worthwhile --> Experienced Diesel Locomotive Engineers thought etc etc etc
2) Experienced US Army Corps Personel believed Aeroplanes would serve no function in war other that observation platforms.
I believe we have arrived at the crux our discussion. Thanks -Kier-.
