Default Am I an idiot? Low experience; high performance

------much snipped----- have you ever considered the source of our
current
liabilityphobia?



Yes, and I have expounded sufficiently within the recent past.


So, with such scholastical and empirical research you blame insurance
companies?



My Dear Mr. Barrow:

Within the current thread, I have stated that I no longer trust insurance
company statistics for the determination of individual policy risks--which
was stated in the context of a pilot's experience and insurance premiums for
a higher performance aircraft. Later in this thread, I stated that, in my
personal experience, many of the people and entities who cite insurance
rules as their reasons for various regulations are not being truthful.

My opinion of the underlying reasons for what you call " liabilityphobia"
has not changed in many years, and you can search if you care to do so. It
was not the isurance companies, although they are not a source of any
solution--for reasons which should be mathematically obvious.
