Probably the downvotes are because of this sequence:

Statement: Disabled people aren't accustomed to flying by the seat of their pants, because it isn't feasible for them.

Response: Able bodied people die too.

Well yes, everyone knows that and it isn't relevant to what it's responding to.




We were discussing the dangers of bad GPS. Person A said bad GPS could kill disabled people, person B said a disabled person wouldn't get into that situation, I'm saying that's true, but bad GPS can kill able-bodied people as well.

The point for me is that bad GPS is a potential threat to human life; exactly which humans are in most danger is an interesting side discussion.
