to confirm that statement, look at how many aircrafts have crashed with experienced pilots in the cockpit.
Our 20000 hour captain mightn’t be infallible, but we can reasonably assume that he’s at least got some idea. The point, which you seem to have wilfully missed, is that he’s got much more idea of how to operate an aircraft than someone who’s Done Their Research by looking at a YouTube video on aeroplanes.
