It's not hard to get it right the first time. While most people can't
fly airplanes by hand without making mistakes, everyone has pushed
buttons, turned dials, and moved levers countless times in his life,
and if he can also understand and follow instructions, he can land a
747, which requires no more than the manipulations just mentioned when
the automation is used.


Nope.
