Many accident pilots have never been anywhere near MSFS. Indeed, the
most common personality types among accident pilots would sneer at a
simulator.


More pure, unadulterated bull **** from Anthony, who doesn't know **** from
shinola about aviation or anything else.

Yes, except in my analogy I'm equating the concert pianist with someone

So anyone other than a concert pianist cannot actually play a piano?

Not quite.

I'd pay a concert pianist to play in front of me.

Although the last time I played alongside...

Chopsticks anyone?

Lack of content and meaningless insult noted.

Let me know when you're playing in public again and I'll come along and
watch.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

I really don't think it was aimed at you...

The most important things required to learn the piano are a) practice
and b) a good teacher. (You can add motivation, but I think a large part
of that is included in a) and even b))

That's the same for any musical instrument.

Possibly.

I've never played chopsticks...

But then I don't play the piano...

Why not?

Because you're an idiot.

By educating myself.

You've obviously failed miserably.

There are other ways to learn things besides trial and error.

And you've failed at that, too.

You're an idiot. Fit that on a CD.

What proof do you have of this?

I think that it is reasonable for him to believe what people tell him. For
myself, I was rather unhappy with my choice of career (Rocket Scientist) so
I retrained as a Brain Surgeon. That turned out to be intellectually
undemanding and I then became a Concert Pianist. That didn't last very long,
as the pay was awful, so I am now the Captain of an Airbus A380 who did all
of his flight training and CAA certification on Microsoft Flight Simulator.
