Well, close your eyes and make the turn, and see where you end up.

That's yet another blazingly stupid comment to make.

True but irrelevant.

On the contrary, it's important. Can you really be sure that your turn is
perfectly coordinated and that you are holding altitude without ever looking
at the instruments?

Yes.

How do you know how far you've turned?

Looking out the window. It is a VFR turn, remember from the stuff you cut?

How do you tell
the difference between an uncoordinated turn and being pushed by the wind?

Once again a blazingly stupid comment that shows you know nothing about
flying.

In VFR you are much safer looking out the window than staring at the
instruments like a simmer, especially in a turn.

In VFR you are safest if you do both. And you can look out the window in a
sim, too.

Wrong.

You are safest spending as much time as possible looking out the window.

When low and slow I will occasionally glance at the turn coordinator,
but other than that it is basically ignored.

Wrong.

How do you know the difference between a coordinated turn and, say, an
uncoordinated turn that encounters wind that moves the aircraft? If you
depend on sensation alone, an updraft or downdraft might make you think that
an uncoordinated turn is level and coordinated, when in fact it is
uncoordinated and you are climbing or descending.

Utter nonsense.

Since you have never flown, you have no idea just how idiotic that statement
is.
