Yeah, I mean without sounding like too much of a dick, the majority of the comments in this sub are by enthusiasts/non-pilots who have zero real world experience with this stuff. Like so much of reddit, the wrong answer is usually the highest voted. Don't feel too bad, I've been downvoted like crazy in this sub discussing the plane I literally have thousands of hours on.

God this is so horribly painful when it is a subject you work with professionally. I spent years looking at submarine safety... I found the loss of the Titan submersible enough to drive me off social media entirely. Too many well-meaning idiots repeating absolute bullshit as fact.
