That is correct. That's why I asked how many pilots have reported anomalies. . . . your comments about the reliability of the pilots you've known seems > uncharacteristically anecdotal. It is completely anecdotal and not to be taken seriously. However, I have met quite a number of weirdo pilots, with very odd beliefs, especially ones who resemble Gen. Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove. So there are at least some you should not trust. It wouldn't take many to introduce a little noise in the data set, with one or two reports per year. - Jed
