That's one of the biggest failures in logic I've seen in a while. I don't understand how you can say this, only to contradict yourself by saying this:

The procedure I called stupid is to manually adjust the flight director to 10 degrees on the ground. You advocate not using it until the FD is fixed. What's the problem?
BTW: Despite the screen name, I now fly the CRJ-200 and am well aware of the supercritical wing. I am well aware of the importance of proper rotation technique and not over-rotating. I'd be perfectly happy to take off without the FD, instead of playing with that stupid thumbwheel.
