Default Problems in a commercial flight

The fact that he is right once in awhile is no indication that he knows
what he is talking about.


He is right more than just once in a while, and it is self-evident that if he
is right, he knows what he is talking about, since the chance of a random
answer being correct is exceedingly small.

He is not a pilot. He is a flight-sim guy.


That's the part that irritates you. Unfortunately, it has almost nothing to
do with knowing what one is talking about, despite a widespread misconception
to the contrary. Another example of credentialism. People who cannot depend
on an unambiguous distinction between knowledge and ignorance resort to
credentialism to maintain artificial separations.

Even Mxs should be able to learn something. But what he says should in
no way be considered reliable.


Exactly the same can be said of pilots.
