Your problem is that you don't fly.

That isn't the problem that you make it out to be. Flying is not magic.

Actual pilots here--nearly all of
them--keep telling you that you have no idea what you're talking about,
and you still can't catch the clue.

Actual pilots here have made some glaring errors that have considerably
diminished my opinion of private pilots. They don't seem to be nearly as
qualified as I had formerly presumed them to be. Sometimes they don't even
know the basics. Worse yet, they are more interested in defending their egos
than in being right.
