OK, but you didn't answer my question, which was, "When idiots say
idiotic things do you think that they realize that they are being idiots
or do you think that they believe themselves to be completely correct?"


I think they believe themselves to be completeky correct.


OK.


In the absence of an answer my question, your judgment on that
particular matter is suspect, particularly in light of:

Cumulo Granite is not a hazard.


That seems pretty idiotic to me.


Why?


Because if you hit terrain (you were aware that "cumulo granite" is a
euphemism for terrain, yes?) you are unlikely to survive. And if you
survive you are unlikely to escape serious injury. And your airplane is
likely to be totaled as well. That to my mind qualifies as a hazard.

Isn't that obvious?
