I think you misunderstand my comment. I'm saying, for instance, that during a calm period when a group of people can take their time and review each other's reasoning, a rule might be put in effect like, "Two tail strikes within X hours of each other means an automatic, immediate halt." Humans execute that procedure (or override it at the risk of their career) and then decide what to do next, having been in the loop the entire time. Such a rule likely saved an SR-71 once: https://theaviationgeekclub.com/the-story-of-belmont-86-the-sr-71-that-made-an-emergency-landing-in-norway-after-spying-over-murmansk/ https://theaviationgeekclub.com/the-story-of-belmont-86-the-... The natural tendency for military air crews is to complete the mission if humanly possible. To counter this inclination, the Wing Commander had designated certain emergencies sufficiently critical to require immediate landing. This was one of those emergencies.
