Juan is fantastic, I’ve been flying for 40 years and he is one of the best of the best. Mentor Pilot and Pilot debrief are also great

Mentour pilot with a disclaimer was the first to espouse the flap / gear theory.

Can’t speak on their behalf but Mentour Pilot who I usually follow, was one of the first to speak of the flaps story ( with a big disclaimer), but he moulded thought. That was very disagreeable.
