Upon further reflection, I think some shit pilots still manage to crash the plane even when something IS a textbook simulator issue. That shorting of the runway in San Fran? Every warning worked as intended except the pilot. The prop plane that went down in Taiwan? Pilot shut down the wrong engine. Basically if we're talking about a person being unable to actually handle the needs of modern piloting - mode confusion as it were - then I'm suspicious that they aren't very good pilots in the first place. This is where I see the correlative in cars. Just because lane-alert and auto cruise control can help an inattentive driver stay out of a crash doesn't mean the systems can't be compromised by a poor operator. That's kind of my thought process.
