But do make sure the polarity is correct. Our glider got returned from
maintenance some years ago with the polarity reversed. Discovered that in
the middle of a cloud after climbing a thousand feet or so, amazing how a
pilot's brain works...

Same here, three years ago. But my brain told me to check the
instruments before entering the cloud.

Then you should never fly in a commercial airliner.

Your brain seems to not be aware that there are places in the world
where cloud flying with gliders is pretty common.

My brain is aware that in some places cloud flying with gliders is
common, and that in other places running with bulls in city streets or
flying next to a cliff face while wearing a winged suit is common. My
brain tells me to avoid all of those activities.
