No, your basis for a judgment is not. It would be like you saying which
tastes better Pepsi or Coke when you have never tried Coke.


What others are saying about piloting is like saying Coke tastes best without
having tasted anything else at all. There are many aspects to aviation, just
as there are many aspects to food and drink.

I've never said that simulation is superior to flying a real airplane in a
general sense, although I've indicated that I find it preferable in certain
respects. There isn't any way to prove or disprove that it is generally
superior or inferior, because that determination is purely a matter of
personal taste.

OK, let me rephrase, It would be like you saying anything about the
taste of Coke having never in your life drinking anything but Pepsi.

Is that like making statements about flying airliners when one has never flown
anything but a single-engined tin-fan prop?

shinola tastes like.

Okay, but we now have credible evidence that he's probably done both.

Just like Coke and Pepsi, until you actually taste it you have no idea what
exactly you're talking about.
