I give up, after many, many years!

I doubt many ATPs toiled as long for their rating as long as
candidates for doctorates have in the halls of academia. But it does
take different skill sets in most cases, doesn't it?

The important point is that the knowledge gap between an average ATP and an
average non-pilot is far smaller than the gap between someone with a PhD in
chemistry and someone with no special knowledge of chemistry.

How can you possibly quantify something like this?

I would agree that the average person knows less about a given subject
than a newly minted PhD with that major than an average person knows
about flying than someone holding an ATR, but to call that the
important point is stupid.

I think the important point is people operating at close to the top of
any profession have a lot more in common with each other than they do
with "average" people. I wrote 'profession' but think that can be
extended to 'trade' or in every skill area. They are uniquely
motivated and skilled, and that separates them from those who are only
just intelligent and who choose not to exploit that advantage.

I have spoken, so it must be so . Oh wait, that's a different
poster's attitude.

Anthony doesn't know how to use a tape measure. MSFS doesn't have one.

Just like the knowledge gap between a cockroach and you, Anthony.
