[Phil Spelt]

But,Mark, your movie analogy only considers the 
visual system -- each sense had its own 
throughput time, plus we must consider the 
"decision making" time between aircraft movement 
and then the later stick movement reacting to 
that aircraft movement...it gets very complicated 
very fast -- good thing we don't have to think 
through every little stick input before we make 
it.  It only takes about 2 or 3 seconds to "guide 
an aircraft into premature impact with terraine"...
