Default I'm not a real Pilot?

Not really any different. As I've said, people always look for something that
distinguishes themselves from others, and then set it as a threshold for some
level of competence to which they wish to lay claim and from which they wish
to exclude others. The actual distinguishing feature shifts constantly so
that it always falls in just the right place, and in most cases it is very
trivial indeed from an objective standpoint.
