Ok, but I think I would still suggest that a 100 hour pilot who has only flown 2 hours in the last 3 months is simply going to lack the capacity to handle anything vaguely complex. But, I do agree that having a strong sense of discipline imparted right from the beginning of training is vital, and that even recreational flying should be conducted with a professional mindset.
