Health, in terms of your question regarding ‘what does Meno’s post about planes have to do with anything’, I cut and pasted the relevant parts of that discussion, so you can see where it fit in:
Meno-“It’s very easy to give instructions for one specific situation, but the reality is that there are a thousand different emergencies one could encounter, and it’s unreasonable for a person to be trained to deal with every single one, and it is unreasonable to expect an untrained person to be able to act properly under that kind of stress.And if you’ll say that a person collapsing on the floor is more common, so everyone should be prepared – I’ve been alive for quite a few years, and I have never seen it happen, so it can’t be that common.”
Health: “I wasn’t talking about more common, but about life threatening!”
Meno: “So by that logic, everyone should learn how to fly an airplane, in case the pilot drops dead mid-flight.”
You said that people need to know what to do in the situation of someone collapsing (even though it’s not common) because it is life threatening. So Meno pointed out that according to that logic, everyone should know what to do for any life threatening situation, such as a pilot falling dead, l”a.
