I don't imagine that you've ever heard of specific unit using certain
aircraft conducting certain kinds of field tests on their equipment.


I have.



I could give you examples of what I am talking about, but it would
only serve to continue your ongoing arguing about the subject.


I could give you examples of the same.



You disparage information from the manufacturer,


I've done nothing at all like that.



but you now are questioning the existence of pireps where you just
finished saying that they were the only reliable information available to
the aircrews. It would help if you made up your mind which source of
information for pilots you wish to endorse.


I have been consistent throughout.



Now you're putting words in my mouth. I said nothing of the sort.


Those are the words of your message.



I'm trying to get across to you that the body of knowledge has input
from more than one source.


It'll work better if I play the teacher and you play the student. What I'm
trying to get across to you is that if the manufacturer says the airplane
will behave in a certain way, and field experience proves it behaves in a
different way, then the manufacturer was wrong.



Well, if you say so, but I don't see too many people here agreeing with
you.


One rarely sees many responses of simple agreement in these forums.

It appears you still haven't realized that your messages on this subject
have largely supported my position at the expense of your own.
