Never mind all this 'get a grip' macho nonsense Tee Emm ..... may be you haven't experienced it yet?
I would observe that Tee Emm has done all of the above, many times over, during a flying career well in excess of 50 years. Not only that, he can still fly the bird with great smoothness and dexterity .. AND maintain an ATPL medical. This chap is not one of the ordinary folk. Were I able to fly half as well, I would be extremely pleased with myself ...
What he is trying to highlight, I suggest, is the thought that folk should have high levels of competence both in hand flying AND button pushing activities - each being a sensible complement of the other - as well as an overall high standard of aircraft flight management/SA/etc./etc. and all that those concepts entail.
That he espouses raw data hand flying is a personal skills preference only - he doesn't, anywhere, suggest that incompetence at autoflight management is in any way a desirable pilot trait.
