You forgot "running oversquare." I know two guys who have been flying
about as long as I have (50+ years) who are convinced they'll burn in
hell forever if the cruise "oversquare," even after I've shown them
Lycoming documents recommending it.

They know more about engines than the people who designed and built

I debated "downwind turns," too. And you can always get a rise out of a
couple people here by asking, "Why is the Cirrus so dangerous?"

But if you really want a knockdown, dragout fight here, just mention, even
for a moment, the continual spelling of "lose" as "loose." I think that
started one of the longest and most acrimonious threads ever.
