Hamid,
That might have been my comment to which you were referring.  Several posts
back I remarked that the only real problem seemed to be that the CB popped
for no apparent reason, so in this case I agree with you.  Should the CB
have been "repeatedly reset?"  Probably not, but I find the mention of doing
just that in pilot training and POH's, so I'm afraid even the FAA implies
that it is "okay."  I was remarking that taking off in VFR conditions Is not
particularly unsafe and as far as I can tell doesn't violate any FAR's.  As
for judgmental I often find we as humans tend to drift away from judging
actions ("repeatedly resetting the breaker") to judging people ("some people
shouldn't be allowed....").  Judging actions is a useful and enlightening
endeavor, but judging people can be a slippery slope.

Gary
