This is my point. Aircraft stability and aircraft flying qualities are two different things. The spitfire had good flying qualities but was not statically stable.

Where did I say anything about the spitfire being 'capable of stability'? I will say it again it was a response to your 'black and white' statement 'Stability isn't something that an aircraft is "capable of".'

Like I said. Never mind. It would take too much energy to explain.

Where did I claim it was?

You brought it up.
