An interesting analogy. Is it more fun to drive the Nissan on city
streets in traffic, following all the rules, or is it more fun to ride
go-karts on a private track where you can go faster and maneuver more
and where there are fewer unpleasant rules?


If we're restricted to those choices, the Nissan would be more fun.
You can go to the beach, the mountains, the movies, the museum, other
interesting places where you can see things and meet other people. And
if you do meet someone, the Nissan has a place for her to sit.

Same thing for an airplane. An airplane can take you to all sorts of
interesting, educational, entertaining, profitable places.

With the simulator, no matter where you go, there you are.
