> Like the GP, I'm generally against regulation, but I agree that the FAA seems too lax in this case.

Are there other fields where you're very familiar with where you're still against regulation? It seems odd to me that you're for regulation in a field where you recognize the reasons for it, but are against it in general, implying areas where you don't have much expertise.

(Reminds me of when someone in Profession X sees the news get stories and facts about their profession wrong all the time, but continues to trust the news on stories about other fields. I forget what that phenomenon is called.)

I will admit that my comment was poorly phrased.

It's better stated if I say that I prefer to err on the side of less, rather than more, regulation.

It'd fit into a broad interpretation of the Lake Woebegon effect.
