The idea is that we want people to KNOW that the airplane is flyable. That if the canopy opens, they still need to (and can) fly the airplane.

You have been complaining that the report portrays suppositions as facts. And then you are doing exactly the same thing yourself. That severely undermines your credibility and leads people to not take your arguments seriously.

The facts are that so far we are aware of one person, with unknown and unique training and experience, flying an airplane that is aerodynamically different than every other Legacy, under unknown conditions of weight & balance, was able to land with an open canopy.

You are making a huge and untenable leap of logic extrapolating that once incident to mean that every Legacy, with its unique aerodynamics, under every allowable combination of weight & balance, will be flyable by a proficient pilot with an open canopy.
