Too many pilots in the cockpit spoil the landing...

Don't OWT's usually deal with quick, undocumented home remedies

My interpretation of the term is more broad than that, including things that
I also consider an urban legend. The American Heritage Dictionary defines
"old wives' tale" this way: "A superstitious belief or story belonging to
traditional folklore".

I suppose that would exclude the CFI/backseat story based on one's
definition of "traditional folklore", but certainly not just because it's
more of a story than a briefly stated "home remedy".

Personally, I find the terms somewhat interchangeable and certainly not
different enough to warrant correcting someone in a newsgroup. But I
suppose if someone wanted to be picky, it could be debated.
