Touche. But let's be honest here, it's an implied average. Blame English, or comprehension skills.
He also did not say "literally all women" but I don't see anyone here making the case for that either.

- 24gttghh 8y agoI took their language to be implying a weakness in women that I did not think was warranted (emphasis, mine) >WW2 military planes were at the limits of a man's strength. > Women don't have the lower body strength to do it. Flying a damaged B-17 is just not possible without the leg and upper body strength. > By the time I worked on the 757 flight controls, the "feel forces" had been dialed back substantially to accommodate female pilots. The final quote seeming to imply the mechanical feedback from the controls of more modern aircraft were lessened to accommodate female pilots, instead of more likely making it easier for all pilots to operate the aircraft.
- WalterBright 8y ago> imply I thought I stated it quite plainly, not by implication. It's what I was told by the engineers that worked on it. There was also some concern that by lessening the feel forces, men would then be likely to overcontrol the aircraft, but this concern didn't pan out.
