I find this list strange. I have only a passing interest in aviation and I would not believe very many of these.

What made the corresponding lists for names and time interesting were that it was genuinely surprising to realise that their statements were actually false. I don't get that feeling with these.

Like the top level comment about identifiers for airplanes -- why would they have them? That sounds baffling to me. With ownership changes, continuous upgrades, extending airframes, repurposing etc. I would be surprised if there was a stable identity.






Yeah. This list is more like "model simplifications you should think twice about making".

Yes, this list is insulting to programmers.
