To those who think all “truth” is subjective, I always ask:
Do you think the subjective “feelings” of the engineers and technicians who built the plane you intend to travel cross-country at 500 mph and 35,000 feet are enough to ensure its physical integrity??
Do you think the “feelings” of those who study aerodyamics, metallurgy, and the physics of flight trump so-called “science? If so, who gets to decide which subjective feelings should be adopted as a model for designing an airplane?
If you think “feelings” trump truth, do you believe that each aircarft, say every 777, is built differently, based upon the fellings of the engineers and technicians working on the assembnly line that day?
Do you think the pilot’s “feelings” that he’s properly trained are enough to make you confident you won’t wind up as bloody gore msashed into the ground en route?
Are the “feelings” of air traffic controllers sufficient to allow them to know where the aircraft is vis a vis the thousands of others in US airspace at any particular time?
I’d say “it works every time” to make them see their intellectual error, but it doesn’t: some people are too brain dead to understand their idiocy.
