I thought that comment gave the post even more credibility. Do you know any 'outstanding intellects' amongst us that gave up a budding career in astro physics to tackle the intellectual challenge of flying a circuit in a 152? Ever wondered if university doctorates are multiple choice like ATPL's? Rocket science it aint. Common sense, situational awareness and experience cant be taught, are never quantified and tested, but are the things that save asses. We could all name examples of intellects that can calculate the gravity influence of planets on the speed of light, but cant tie their own laces. Take his comment as a compliment.
