Amen. Couldn't agree more with what gm says here.
Airplanes can be operated in any number of improper ways and, when
misoperated, are extremely dangerous. But that does not negate the
value of airplanes. There may be slightly more ways to misoperate a
crank up tower than a fixed tower, but I think that is beside the
point. The issue is "properly installed and operated crankup" vs
"properly installed and operated fixed tower".
