Agreed. I work on a different type of vehicle with safety-critical systems for a living, and I'm naturally also very interested in the interactions between the pilots and the machine (and among themselves) and the spiral of events in the cockpit.

But that doesn't mean debating whether there's a better way to engineer typhoon-resilient localizer antenna arrays isn't also a good use of time. Safety makes it imperative to discuss all of these matters exhaustively.

Re ocean, no, that isn't so great - sea rescue is a lot more difficult to perform than on land.

Sure but if you have 3km of open water following the runway then don’t block it with a concrete wall (even if that wall prevents storm flooding 2 days every 5 years). Sea rescue is a lot easier than rescuing people who drove into a concrete wall.
