This has got to be the dumbest 2 sentences I have read...even from
you. Real pilots spend many hours learning how to interpret the
instruments they have and develop contingency plans for when
instruments/display systems fail. Even the most advanced aircraft
have a good ole' fashion wet compass and steam gauges in case displays
go dark.

I'd venture to say that many pilots wouldn't know how to use those gauges if
they had to get by with them alone, especially the new breed of low-time
Cirrus-style pilots. They learn what they have to learn to get a license, and
then they forget.
