Call for protest of ABC's slamming of interaction research

This episode reminds me of other interaction research with a very strong
outcome.

In the 1980s there were studies of the cockpit interactions that immediately
preceded airline crashes.  Charlotte Linde and others found that there were
avoidable practices that had been instrumental in producing some of the
crashes.

The FAA took note, pilot training was upgraded, and it is very likely that
some of us are alive because of it.

Here, of course, the "pilots"  are flying nations rather than planes.

Rest well.
