A one thousand hour CFI that has spent the bulk of their time in the pattern teaching has just as good (probably better) skills than most five thousand hour pilots and, quite possibly, better judgement. It's not that complicated. The whole "real world" flying is better just because you left an airport, is mostly hot garbage. It's all real world.
The thought that judgement, ADM, etc. is not a
skill stuns me. I checked its defintion, which states,
skill is "proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experience."
If you look at the introduction to chapter 2, ADM in the FAA’s
Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge you’ll find the statement:
“The importance of learning and understanding effective ADM
skills cannot be overemphasized."
