We have anti-skid, auto-brakes, three-axis auto-pilot, auto-thrust, and we don't trust any of it. We're always monitoring what it's doing . We've got sensors everywhere, bells, whistles, and chimes, yet someone still goes outside and walks all the way around it inspecting it for problems before every flight, even when it's -20 degrees in blowing snow. Our engines have failure rates measured in millions of hours, but we still review failure procedures before every takeoff.

My point is, use the automation you have, it'll get you out of tight spots, it'll save your ass on occasion, but don't intentionally put yourself in a place where it's the only thing that will save you, because someday it's going to fail you.
No **** Sherlock you repeated the point I made in my last post I understand its limitations. It's not as good at breaking as I am but it sure does ease the workload as you I'm sure know
