I suspect that some would continue to wallow in denial even if they personally reviewed mountains of evidence, even evidence that would satisfy the strictest scrutiny.

kind of like your non-falsifiable belief that regulation must cause higher prices. Years ago there was a NASA/FAA investigation into software certification costs (Streamlining Software Aspects of Certification). People running it soon realized that companies that knew how to get "178B...

That's my understanding... using relative strength of different frequencies, and knowing how much different frequencies are attentuated by the atmosphere, an estimate can be made of distance (albeit a really rough estimate but one that is probably more accurate that just looking at signal...

one trick will be training it, especially for single-pilot operations
