Why is it hyperbole or over the top?

Because it is such a severe exaggeration of reality. In trying to make your
point, you exaggerate your argument until it loses all credibility.

It's rather like counselors who warn teenagers that the first time they try a
drug they'll turn into addicts and end up in the gutter. Teenagers know that
this is a ridiculous exaggeration, and they tend not to take anything they
hear seriously once they realize that the counselor has chosen exaggeration
over truth.

By your own admission you have never flown and are afraid to fly.

I have flown many times, as a passenger. I'm not afraid to fly; I rather like
flying. I don't know how you reached these conclusions.

You simply have no basis of comparison between playing a computer game and
the actual act of flying. Until you have done both ...

I have done both.

This is why you have absolutely no credibility, and your statements lack
credence.

You're entitled to your opinion; I disagree with it. Others may form their
own opinions.
