Which is different than acknowledging the fact that they are
"unnecessary" for people like Mary and me who fly twice a week, into all
sorts of airspace.

Careful Jay. The moment you think that you don't need a BFR is the moment
you will spiral into the ground wondering what happened.

I understand your sentiment -- it's unwise to be over-confident -- but in
this case it's just plain silly.

A BFR isn't going to prevent me from spiraling into the ground anymore than
reading the FARs will. Both are good things to do, and both are especially
helpful if you're not current -- but neither will make me a better pilot
than flying 100 times per year will.

Which is what I'm currently doing.
