If you never look at your standby instruments how can you trust them if all electrical systems fail and all automation fails? It is your final backup so you should be comfortable using them alone.
Fair point but FWIW given that on a lot of the shiney new toys the standby instruments are in themselves 100% "electrical" their usefulness in the event of a total electrics failure is a bit limited.
