John,
 
You would have a hard time convincing BRS (the farmer) that the farmer'= s=20 daughter is ugly. In fact, BRS has had more than a few saves and some of tho= se=20 are in Cirrus's.

I agree that good piloting should keep you out of situations where you=20= may=20 need to pull the handle but not everyone possesses good piloting skills.
