While it may be impossible to eliminate human error we've done a good job at reducing risk. And every day we continue progress in safety. I'll let the statistics (air carrier, US) speak for them selves. Unfortunately for GA the accidents continue, and the root cause is lack of proficiency...

Apparently no matter what's presented, you will disagree. So what is your solution? What would you recommend?

So please show me where a well trained pilot or a well trained crew has made such errors. It's been proven time and time again that proper training and recurrent training reduces if not eliminates accidents and incidents. And while your at it, please explain why a portion of the GA pilots...
