TP If you think it's useless, what is the point of the training
TP then?

Not entirely useless, but not entirely use-full either. What's the
point? Some hypocrisy in life is necessary for society to
continue. It's a convenient fiction that the 3 hours will bail all VFR
pilots out of a jam, just like the fiction that confiscating nail
clippers and shampoo will make airline flights safer.
