So, it seems to me that before we start throwing around statements like
"the problem is with the pilots, not the airplanes", it ought to be
established that there *is* a problem in the first place.

Flying magazine (or AOPA?.. dunno) ran the numbers a year or so ago and
compared the accident rate between Cirrus and competitive models. I don't
have a copy at hand, but there was a significant difference in accidents
with Cirrus having a much higher rate than the other A/C.
