This having been said, if ATC was screaming at me to turn left

directly ahead of me on a collision course at co altitude and my wife
sitting next to me who is non rated told me at the exact same instant
to continue flying straight on, by the time common sense and a deep
primal fear (both associated with the ramifications of increased yard
work that would most certainly be the result if I ignored my wife)
passed through my thought process, we would have hit the 747 and the
point of the initial poster's question would then be moot.

Sorry, but being killed is no excuse from yard work!

(Just came in from a couple hours of said yard work. Raking is a great way
to burn off the calories from all the holiday cookies and other goodies
that appear this time of year! ;-))
