Imagine this:
You're a school bus driver. While driving a full load of kids over a bridge, you have a tire blow out while simultaneously hitting a patch of "black ice". Using your superior driving skills, you manage to recover without sliding into the opposite lane traffic that consists of a 10-ton semi truck or breaking into the guard rail and plunging off the bridge into the icy waters below.
You're a hero.
Until some {insert profanity here} writer notices that the bus, after all, had power steering, anti-lock brakes, and cruise control. So I guess it wasn't you after all . . you were just along for the ride.
To wit: it's kinda like that.
