Snoop British v American approach to flying

On a thread about flying training/requirements, an American contributor said:. .
"It seems all the folks from the UK and the above Canadian seem to think you must be a rocket scientist to fly a helicopter. Not true ...... You want to fly, do it."
Has he got a point?
If so, what's the reason?
Is it the difference in attitude between the FAA, and the CAA?
Are UK requirements for a professional licence unnecessarily high?

What do you think?

Please don't let this become a national pride or anti-American thread.
