I don't ignore shit. For instance, I've noticed in my lifetime that complex electrical shit invariably fucks up (sometimes, in less than a year's time), where simple mechanical shit from the 1900s still works flawlessly even today.
You can fly in whatever shit bucket you want. I personally like vehicles where the controls are attached to....well, the control SURFACES.

You can believe whatever you want. The fact is that people on average drive more miles in their cars and own them longer now than they did when everything was mechanical. They aren't doing this because the cars are less reliable now.
As for passenger aircraft, it would be impossible for a person to fly a larger passenger jet without assistance from electrical systems. Unless you are flying in Piper Cubs you are pretty much dependent on electrical systems to work the control surfaces. |

True, a space grade hermetically sealed highly quality controlled relay costs $100+ while an automotive grade relay that does the same thing is a couple of bucks.
