Fixed that for ya

In that based on my 20 some years of being an engineer

I can tell you that 'most' seasoned engineers have a 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' approach..

Typically it is only the young and or student and or academic types of engineers that 'feel the need' to fix things that are not broken!

Sadly some have an 'if I can't find the fault it ain't broke' attitude too.

True.. As noted, those working towards a degree (students) love to fix things that aint broke.. Than there are the bored types of engineers who are trying to justify thier existance.. There is no absolute rule in that human nature will win out in most cases.. Sadly as in this case/thread some 'feel the need' to say something needed fixing that the pilots themselfs didn't think needed fixing.. Human nature!
