Hello All;

There is a lesson here, and it may not be one that you want to hear. Jerry is absolutely
correct - if your system can autonomously react, then the action IS intentional by definition;
the designer is responsible for such things.

We avoided the gyros for several reasons; this type of situation is one of them.

I would second the notion of a safety override on the control station to suppress such undesirable
actions.
