By no definition except your own, which is utterly irrelevant, have you
learned instrument flight.

I've learned it a lot better than many non-IR pilots.

Notice that last little word, "flight".
Learning instrument flight involves FLYING. You haven't. Period.

I've simulated, which is good enough.

Yes, I know there are sims that can be logged as flight time. They
involve elaborate certification to get that status.

Yes, and ironically they aren't always very realistic. Just
certified.

Most of that certification makes sure the experience is similar
enough to flying to count.

No, it doesn't. It makes sure that certain details match reality,
while ignoring the rest. The simulation may be highly unrealistic
overall.

And sometimes an absence of certification simply means that nobody was
willing to jump through the hoops necessary to obtain it.

And no sensible person would say that you can learn instrument
flight only on one of those sims.

Why not?

You don't even have access to one.

Where did I describe my access?

You haven't learned flight. Not any kind. It seems to be a problem for
you. Get over it.

I'm not the one who seems to be emotional about it. It's not a
problem for me. I know what I've learned, and it is considerable.
