What is up with these MSFS freaks? Why on Earth do they think a game is
anything like the real world? The only logical explanation is that they have
no experience in the real world...


That's certainly part of it. Another big part, I think, is an inability
to view the world in anything but black and white.

Take the fellow's recent statement that physical sensations are useless
when flying. His "proof" was simple: you can't fly if you close your
eyes, so the sensations must be useless.

This, of course, makes no sense. They can be useful without being so
useful that they're all you need. But he sees things in black and white,
yes or no, one or zero, nothing in between.

Then we have the simulator. Well, MSFS *is* realistic to some degree. It
*is* useful to some degree. People use it to practice IFR procedures and
the like. Applying the absolutist argument here, and you can see how
MSFS is 100% accurate for everything that matters and anything you get
in the real world that's not found in MSFS is pointless or stupid anyway.
