I am sure that you mean "things should be made as enjoyable and reasonably safe as possible".
Yes, exactly. What I meant was that IO has strong opinions about the aburdities of GA having GPS available as a tool and not exploiting its potential, which I agree with.
But I also object to the idea that wealth should be a qualification to fly. Sometimes people on this forum assume a tone that almost implies it's irresponsible to fly if you can't afford to do it well. But I manage to stay current somehow and can navigate (nearly) as successfully by ded-reckoning as my counterparts with expensive GPS can - it's just harder work, that's all.
