Yup, I know all about it.

For the last umpteen years I have been the captain on a 225' fast ship called the Boeing 747.

Whenever something went wrong the fingers pointed in my direction.
Fortunately I have never bent any metal or caused any damage to flesh.
On the other hand, disasters can be avoided by being super-conservative, not just by pure luck.

(The experienced mariner and the experienced flyer however knows that luck plays a part in the big picture.)

Or as my bumber sticker says:

"Just because you are not paranoid does not mean somebody is not out to get you."
