I am reliably informed that this same argument was done to death, and eventually killed comprehensively, in
sailing.
And in sailing, one likely has a nice big table on which one can (weather permitting) put down a cup of tea, and on which one can spread the charts.
Whereas in aviation, one cannot even use the circular slide rule when airborne. It's purely a ground based torture item, to separate the men who are fit for the privileged Masonic Lodge called "aviation"
from those who obviously are not worthy of it.
Unless you have an autopilot, and if you have one of those then calculating wind drift is the last thing you will need to be doing
There really isn't an objective and rational argument for it anymore, and hasn't been for about 30 years.
