Kurt has demolished a lot of old-wives tales about density altitude in
safety seminars around here. Another of his hot buttons is climbing at the
book airspeed in spite of the fact that it is affected by both weight and
density altitude. He is not in favor of pilots writing airspeeds down on a
card for easy reference unless they take those variables into account.

Those of us who learned at places with density altitudes of 8000' or so don't
have so much problem with this. We also don't tend to get AGL and MSL
confused either.
