I agree but would add that gliding accustomed Capt Sullenberger to the idea of an off-airport landing was survivable. Many pilots might have bit off on trying for TEB or return to LGA. He seems to have decidedly quickly that no other outcome than a water landing was survivable, so set to the task of doing it right. MPL-licensed crews may never experience even the basic single-engine training event called, "engine stopped, where are you going to land?" Forty years on, I still remember that from my third lesson in a C-150.
