people say pretty clearly that they would rather die than risk certain kinds of looking too weird to other people and i'm inclined to take them fairly literally

they invented crew resource management precisely because thats not just a stated preference, it's a revealed preference:
people would rather die in fiery airplane crashes than be assertive in socially awkward/disapproved ways to their fellow crew while trying to avoid such fates

oh this is neato! the bit i read anyway about pan am crashing all the 707s. huh. hmmmmm
it's interesting not just because airplæn (i like airplæn) but because societal interactions are generally super complex but those that happen while flying airplæn are more delimited and yet not only does coordination breakdown happen but we can examine after the fact to see how
