You are trying to make the whole arument invalid on a premise of "pilot skills don't necesseraly follow normal distribution.

1. How exactly does the type of distribution make my argument invalid? Plug in whatever you like, it's still the same.

2. Yes, indeed you might have missed the Central Limit Theorem. And because skill is sum of many different factors, the pilot skill is even more likely to be normally distributed.
