Definitely seems to be a regional thing

I've been on close to 40 flights in the last 5 years, and I can't remember a single one with standard 3.5mm. All had the two pin connectors.
I was flying mostly in the SEA and Middle Eastern regions, so maybe that's the reason?

Yep, exactly the same as climbing shoes (although in a seemingly much more extreme way)
Thanks for the insight.

Impostor syndrome is the internal psychological experience of feeling like a phony in some area of your life, despite any success that you have achieved in that area
This is a graph showing people who believe they don't belong (feeling like a phony), despite the success they have achieved (high academic grades).

In this setting, imposter syndrome would focus around the students not believing they are smart enough, given the school environment. You are the one being ignorant.

You don't need to balance out the thrust in the event of an engine failure. You can fly with unequal configurations, it's just not efficient to do so by choice.
