He stated, we read, that it's on his card, so he satisfied an examiner
enough to earn it. He may not consider himself qualified though.


More likely just being a smartass.

Occam's Razor and all that


I was actually thinking about golf, where players at the highest level
are often heard to say they are still trying to figure out how to play
the game. I'd have great respect for an experienced pilot who said he
was only halfway through learning what he needed to know.

The difference may be good golfers for the most part will call rules
infractions on themselves. Compare that attitude with those here
who. . . well, never mind.
