Is it me or is the FAA about one incident away from a

Sometimes these threads are frustrating. How can anyone here who is a
pilot post a message and blame the FAA for a pilot landing on a
taxiway? If you aren't a pilot, why post here with such authority?
The FARs clearly make the PIC resposible for the safety of flight.
Pilots are also "supposed" to be able to differentiate between a runway
and a taxiway. Why does it matter if its VFR,IFR, ILS,towered,
non-towered, black person, white person, etc?

IF the tower sees the plane landing on the taxiway and says "go
around", that's fantastic, but it's still a PILOT making a mistake.
How do you think pilots at non-towered airports land? Yes, ATC works
with the pilots, and yes they have responsabilities too. And how about
maybe giving ATC some credit for all the hard work they do to keep our
butts safe up there?
