Default Better drivers?

Given that I've seen no evidence that pilots on the whole are better
at avoiding crashes in airplanes than they otherwise would
statistically be expected to be, I see no reason to think they would
be better drivers. That is, if they can't even be better-than-average
in flying than they'd be expected to be, why would one expect them to
be better-than-average in anything else?



How on earth could the average person preform better than average? By
definition that is impossible.


You've obviously never been to Lake Wobegon.
