Is "Piloting" really this inactive lately?

Actually something caught my attention the other day: Craig Fuller,
Pres. of AOPA, says 80%-90% of people who start to learn to fly never
get a license. Seems a very high rate of dropouts and I'm skeptical of
how that is measured. Supposedly AOPA is going to do something about it
but I'm skeptical of that too, and fully expect another useless
marketing effort. Nevertheless I'm interested in the reasons for
student pilots dropping out. Wanna discuss it?
High cost vs. low interest
