For starters, you have no clue how to do flight planning and believe
that all that is required is some abbreviated entries on a FAA flight
plan form.

No. List the specific, factual errors, and correct them. Expressing an opinion
is not correcting an error.

When I asked you if you had ever filled out a flight planning sheet, you
replied that you had not because there would be no one to file it with
anyway.

That means you have no clue that "flight plan" refers to two things:

1. A detailed plan for the flight.

2. An abbreviated summary of the detailed plan filed with the FAA.

All real pilots do number 1 for all flights (other than the obvious such
as practice in the pattern) including VFR flights.

It is one of the first things you learn to do in real pilot training,
part of the written test.

I even posted a link to PDF planning forms typical of what is used, but
you obviously didn't even bother to look at them, and if you did, had no
clue on how to fill one out.

These days most people use a computer based flight planning program and
generate the sheets automattically, but all real pilots know how to fill
one out by hand with pencil, paper, and real charts.

When you are done with number 1, you use that to fill out the FAA flight
plan form to (optionally for VFR) file with the FAA and you put number 1 on
your kneeboard and update it as you fly.

That's what real pilots are REQUIRED to do to meet the requiements of 91.103.
