Please read critically before replying. My exact quote included the words
"on the same computer". The article that started this thread is about
protecting critical systems, not preventing people from making stupid
mistakes. If you want to talk about ATC procedures or the misbehavior of
controllers using unapproved devices, there's a whole separate mailing
list for that.
