S2G -
We called this the EXCUSE MATRIX, and it is alive and well, and tags a replacement pilot early in training. Sometimes there are reasons for mistakes or miscommunications, but it becomes very evident when every critique is met with a barage of "Well.....the thing is/was...."
Everyone knows that the ONLY criticisms that you shouldn't pay attention to are the LSOs!
