    Reminds me of how terrible the roads were where I grew up in Louisiana. They looked like they had already been introduced to Mr. de Havilland Vampire.

    That is a bit like saying that a hacker who emptied your bank account did you a favour by alerting you to your vulnerabilities.

    That analogy only works if the pilot damaged the runway intentionally.
