Sorry, but it's your usage of the example that is completely wrong.
The Navy is not using MSFS *in lieu* of flight training, the point
under discussion here.

That is not the point under discussion.

AFICT, it's still about you not flying anything real. When and where did
that discussion change (your claim doesn't count)?

Few simulators are suitable
for use in place of actual flight in the simulated aircraft. None
that don't include motion would be suitable.

Wrong, yet again. Pilots don't require motion to be able to use simulators
for many, if not most aviation scenarios. I can tell you that my time in a
Link trainer was not nearly as useful as my time in non-motion simulators
available today.

Without
flight training, you wind up with the kinds of notions and questions
that have been posted here recently.

Whereas with flight training, you become convinced that you know the
answers and never bother to ask.

Wrong, yet again. You have to learn the answers to the elementary
questions you're asking well prior to getting a certificate, and in our
flight school, well before you can even solo.
