It's really easy to just dismiss someone's argument as "emotional." Fear is an emotion too. And it can be quite paralyzing.
See, another emotional argument. When did I ever mention fear? I thought that I was quite specific in saying that our arguments should be economically based and not emotionally based.
If your F/O said on short final, "Hey let's buzz the tower like Maverick did in Top Gun." What would your answer be? Would it be based on fear or a rational analysis of actions and consequences?
You are not Fearless and I am not Fearful, so put away the schoolyard taunts and talk facts and not emotions.
