By his comment, it might actually appear that Anthony has really flown
multiple different airplanes, and has knowledge about tracking VORs and
autopilots.

Of course, he has never used an autopilot of any kind, and he has never
flown anything other than a game with a joystick.

If the comment is correct, as you imply, then the source of the knowledge is
irrelevant.
