Whatever follows, for me it's impresive your certainties and the
security you transpire in your assessments. Its truly enviable. I use to
be also very sure of my knowledges 30 years ago.
But being now responsible for the psycho-physical fittness and
certification of all the pilots in my country, and at the same time
responsible for the CRM rule making for our aviation industry and for
instructing future CRM instructors/facilitators, and in the afternoons
teach in two universities and manage a 120 inmates psychiatric clinic,
believe me, my certainties have abandone me.
Fortunately Peter Senge came to help us with his Fifth Discipline saga
to learn as a group, and Sir Karl Raymond Popper and others
epistemologists convince us enough about how "dogmatisms" work not as
defense mechanisms against external uncertainties but against inner
insecurities from the proper thinker rather.
So Stephen, we have a lot to learn from you, thanks for been active in
the list, so let's go back to bussines and forget ad-hominem arguments.
