If by "most people" you mean the majority of the people in the world,

If by "most people" you mean the people who live in warm climates
don't fly in hot weather, you are wrong.

I didn't qualify the term, so I mean most people in the world. Someone
who
always flies in moderate weather might easily forget the special
precautions
that must be taken in extremely hot weather, which invalidates the
assertion
that people (pilots) who don't know the answer to my question should not
be
flying.

Likewise, someone who flies in a desert climate where icing and rain are
rarely issues might easily forget the special precautions that apply in
such
conditions.

Since you clarify it in that manner--most people don't fly in average
weather.

This knowledge is required for a private pilot in the USA. I suspect it's
similar for other countries as well. Someone who doesn't know this either is
not a pilot, or somehow has beaten the system. In either case he/she should
not be flying.

It may be required to pass a test. But pilots aren't tested every day.

There are many people with drivers licenses who shouldn't be driving, and yet,
there they are.

my bloody oath they do you clueless loser.
if you want to fly crosscountry (note here ACTUALLY fly) in day vfr
conditions you need the longest hours of sunlight, which, hellooo,
also coincide with the hottest period of the year.
so you are totally wrong.
most people fly long distances in the hottest weather, however they
dont do it in the heat. they fly up at altitude and make use of
adiabatic cooling.

you are so unbelievably incompetent in your understanding of aviation.
