Really? I'm not arguing, because I'm sure you know a crapload more about aircraft than I do, but I thought when they would be running some pretty intense modelling of an aircraft like this during the design phase that they would have a pretty good idea of it's behaviour to create a simulator?

That landing was sweet. I assure you items in the overhead compartment did not shift during flight.
