Rob,

Careful here, I know this subject is touchy even for the general pilot population. Analysis of one's own mistakes, as well as those of others is pretty powerful preventative medicine. Most folks, do not do well in self evaluation of thier own actions, the natural "fight or flight" response kicks in.

All of these accidents, and I mean all going back to antiquity, shine the spotlight on the decision chain. Our mental attitude, is the single most crucial element. As a former CFI yourself, I'm sure you'll agree.
