I guarantee that I would have it down very quickly indeed. I know the types
of coordination tasks that I do well, and this is one of them.

Been in the flight training industry for fourteen years now, and
the above statement is so familiar it's not funny. And after a few
hours they either realize they're wrong and start listening, or we
have to stop flying with them because they're such a threat, failing
to understand that they don't understand. They got their minds made up
and that's all there is to it. Some of them even come back from the
first flight either sick (had no idea what to expect in terms of
motion, especially in rough air), or had their tails between their
legs when they discovered they actually couldn't fly. Can't push the
PAUSE button and sort things out.
And I expect
that there are many people like me.

Yup. Way too many.

It's an easy and natural task (natural in
the sense that what perception indicates is accurate with default
interpretations).

Easy until you try it.
