We're all competent to criticize the clear errors of any pilot.

When you put "clear" and "competent" in the same sentence you are
stacking the deck. Accident results are usually pretty clear: causes are
rarely clear, despite the bureaucratic necessity of assigning "probable"
cause.

"Black and white" views of the world have a way of changing with years
and experience, if you're lucky. I wish you many years and thousands of
flight hours of good fortune.
