Quote #1:
Any pilot who can be replaced by a computer should be.
-Dr. Earl Wiener, #28 of Wiener's Laws, July 2013

Quote #2:
The best flying team has three components: a pilot, a computer, and a dog. The computer is there to fly the plane, the pilot is there to feed the dog. And the dog is there to bite the human if it tries to touch the computer.

Can quote 2 be shortened a bit?

Tie vote right now, so I'll reopen this poll for a bit longer.
I think the quote #2 can be shortened as suggested, rather than opening it as a new quote.
 
In that case I've switched my vote to quote 2. Just a point of order with the attribution, though: in the full quote, Hannah Fry presented it as a well-known saying among pilots rather than something she'd made up.
