You are absolutely wrong on this. In some cases, dead wrong.
External distractions (real life turbulence, watching the restricted
airspace around you, overlapping ATC comms, other planes buzzing all
around etc etc etc) can turn a decent student pilot into a panicked
ball of jelly wondering how he will clean up his pants if/when he
lands safely.

Following your logic, any distraction can do this, which means that no
amount of simulation OR real-life experience can be of any use, since
there will always be unexperienced distractions waiting to cause
trouble.

But if all distractions are not qualitatively unique, then a single
distraction of any kind will suffice to simulate all others, in which
case both simulation and real-world experience will suffice as well,
without running the entire (infinite) gamut of possible distractions.

When ATC talks, you can get so flustered that you don't
know what they said. Been there, done that. That will never, ever,
ever happen to you sitting at the monitor killing time before Sesame
Street comes on.

It happens in simulation all the time, just like real life.


You're a moron. You can't compare simulation to real life until
you've done both. You can do a lot with simulation, but not everything.
You just sit alone at home and let the autopilot on MSFS fly the airplane
while you stare at the monitor and stroke your joystick. You know
absolutely nothing about the real world of flying and you don't want to
learn. No wonder you've been such a failure in life, Anthony.
