I strongly disagree with this. Reference what I said earlier about aircraft control being intuitive. You have to practice raw data regularly, so that when you have a distraction (emotionally messed up- as you put it), you’re not expending valuable cognitive ability just trying to fly the airplane.

Think about it- you can write your name and phone number while holding a conversation, because you’ve done it a thousand times before. I bet you couldn’t figure out the square root of pi quite as easily while still having that conversation.
