They should
arrive at the sim with a perfect knowledge, etc. The number of hours I've wasted teaching recurrent pilots in sims the basic stuff of what button to push and when, of systems knowledge, etc The sim is for honing technique, achieving finesse, doing stuff that you can't do in the real aircraft without risk of breaking it. It is not for teaching the basics.
