Default O/T: knots

Electronics is good, but I'd never trust on it alone.
Even if there are redundand systems. Planes crashed because
pilots were unable to judge which one was defect and which
one to trust.


JFK Jr. to cite a well-known example, but there are many others.


Or AF-447, the Airbus A330 that came down half way between Rio and Paris
