Ah? It's all about checklists?

Ok great. Checklist to assemble the wings so we don't forget the
pins.... Checklist before X-country, so we don't forget safety kits
and such...

Yeah great.

But let me tell you, I have a lot more of a list while flying a
Citation in IMC. So why do I fly gliders too? So I can enjoy a lot
more freedom in VMC while minimizing radio calls, FMS programming, and
check-list reading.

It is not only check-list which will save people flying as a hobby. It
is the recency in their logbook.

But I agree: "The checklist is there to protect you, therefore
protect the checklist"
