PSA'ers, is this true?

Classes on Command Authority?
Not sure you can teach that stuff.
You can teach what is expected, but if someone is going to freeze, I imagine that they are just as likely to freeze after having another 2 hour class as they were before. The fact is - you just don't know how one is going to react until faced with the situation without having been put in that situation during training that is so realistic that it draws out those same emotions.
Now this is assuming that these Command Authority classes are in response to the company's opinion that the CA did not act accordingly after the mishap. Is there not already similar training during upgrade. Do airlines have any post-mishap training?
