Suppose I put on a seminar about how to scud run. [...]
been there and done that, and if you're going to scud
run, I assure you that you're way better off going to this seminar
than just doing it cold and figuring it out as you go along. But
would it be a safety seminar?


Yes. It might save your butt one day. Distinguish between attitude and
ability. Seminars that increase ones ability to do something that, under at
least some circumstances are dangerous, are still useful. They should perhaps
come with a part that indicates when not to do this, since it is certainly the
case that the more you hear how to do something, the more acceptable the
something becomes.

How about the new icing seminar? It gives lots of information about flying in
icing conditions, and may well save somebody's butt. And here in the
northeast, icing is hard to avoid. Is =that= a safey seminar?
