Quite.
It doesn't matter how many times you explain it - people who do not want to understand will not.
Having rubbished the whole thing for a purist view they will then fly their aircraft with stability augmentation devices such as slats, yaw dampers, autothrust, Thrust Assymetry Compensation, powered flying controls, autobrakes, mach trimmers, FADEC, and all of the rest of it that we take for granted. This they will do safe in the knowledge that they are 'really flying it' because they have a q-feel back-driven wheel poking out of the floor lending the impression that it is directly connected to the flying controls.
Having done this they will leap into their trusty car - equipped with digital engine managment systems, antilock brakes, traction control, power steering, adaptive suspension, gearboxes that monitor steering wheel angle and throttle pedal position - and drive home.
It's fantastic to live a life so unimpeded by technology.
