Pot, kettle, black. Not once in this discussion have you shown the slightest
interest in dealing with the reality of the large number of aircraft in the
GA fleet having gauges that are unusable in flight beyond "they'r all
illegal!".

No, I haven't just proclaimed that. Rather, I've explained in detail
why I think the gauges ARE useful, in a particular way, if they're
anything like the dozens of planes I've rented in various places. And
I've explained in detail why I think they're illegal otherwise, citing
specific regulations. (There may or may not be a "reality" that
illegal planes are common--but that doesn't change whether they're
illegal.) And CJ and I and others have given reasons that fuel gauges
are desirable for safety as well as legality.

You may disagree with the reasons we've put forth, and that's fine.
But we have in fact been explaining ourselves, and responding
constructively and politely to opposing explanations.
