You are probably not an instructor. Do you really think "bombing around the circuit" is all that instructors do? Try flying 3 to 4 flights a day, 2 hours per sortie with at least 3 approaches in each sortie, simulating every emergency there is in a light twin and that down to close to minima's a few times a week. When last did you do a SE approach in a twin at night down to 200' in IMC?
You have to be on top of everything the whole time to try and teach and correct nervous students mistakes. You don't have the luxury of a co-pilot. Your procedures will never be as good as during the time you are an instructor.
Instructors work just as hard to reach that 1500 hr mark, and I have found the standard of flying and decision making higher in many ex-instructors than in those who did not instruct.
Anyway, I'll leave it at that.
Safe flying
