Yes, but ABS systems can be installed alone, without any other stability
stuff, and that's the way my car was ... I think. I'm pretty sure it had ABS
because there was a light on the dashboard for it, but it didn't have any
stability weirdness. As I recall, the light came on when ABS was engaged. Of
course, it never came on for me, because I never stopped recklessly enough for
it to activate.

Point missed again.

ABS is "stability stuff", which contrary to your assertion has been around
for over twenty years, has saved lives, and causes no "problems" I've ever
heard of.

One does not have to drive "recklessly" for their system to activate.

A ball rolls into the street in front of you followed closeley by a running
child...

Someone pulls out of a driveway onto the street without looking...

The car in the next lane blows a tire and starts skidding into your lane...

I could go on and on and all of them have happened to me.


Non sequitur.

I'm afraid not. You've admitted yourself that many differences are trivial and
can be easily adapted to, which is true. Moving from sim to airplane or back
is the same way. Only an exceptionally stupid student or pilot would not
notice and allow for differences between the two.

Nope, I what I have said is some differences are trivial, but many of them
are major unless you are talking about multi-million dollar, full motion,
professisonal simulators.
