She wants "time" and "space" but when I ask why she says it doesn't "matter". She's obviously not a physicist.

Reply to comment by squigs in TIL Boeing B17 pilots often accidentally raised the undercarriage after landing, destroying the propellors and damaging the underbelly, due to the undercarriage lever and the flap lever looking the same. by Lkwzriqwea
Ik, I'm exactly the same. I work in human factors, and a huge part of that discipline is human error (as in, human error in design, or how to design in a way that minimises the likelihood for human error). There is a culture especially in aviation, where the pilot is blamed for accidents. I read a book which phrased it quite nicely, "when a plane crashed, before the smoke has cleared, the media are looking for someone to blame."

Thanks, that's a brilliant article. Wish I'd linked that instead.

Pretty much, yeah. That's how I learned about it, as part of a talk on human factors in design.
