It's not always easy to express your thoughts on paper or via an email for that matter but I pretty much understand his "intent" in the latest Comm Update. Basically, if you feel the flight path of the aircraft is not going as planned then simply announce a "Go-around" and discuss it in a safer environment.
I'm not really understanding why people are getting their feathers so ruffled? Safety first, right? Ego's left on the ground, right?

Message I got out of it was that F/O's can speak up if they see errors, but in reality, they are really just along for the ride --- ie. F/O's are no more than "B......'in Betty".
Not sure if that was their intent, but that's the "wink, wink" message that I got out of it.
(Note: May have gone to Capt's only. I haven't spoken with an F/O who has seen it)

Training and Standards, MD-11, Comm Updates.
In a previous life, I used to brief the greenest co-pilot/First Officer: "I am very fallible and have made many mistakes in the past and will definitely make many more in the future. You are a qualified pilot. Do what it takes to save us both. If we lose this gig, we can always pump gas, but at least we'll be alive."
Fly safe, folks.
[And to paraphrase the old home defense saw, "Better to be judged by 12 ACPs than carried by six"]
