Killing Zone powerfully makes the point that it's not just the number of hours. A 2,000 hour PPL who has done no additional training (IR, complex aircraft, CPL etc) has likely lost a bunch of skills that were directed at coping with emergencies and has slipped into a bunch of bad habits. The book shows that you are either actively working on enhancing your skills with additional training, or they are rapidly decaying.
