I saw on some show about aviation disasters, a German pilot talking about the sidestick, and how there was absolutely no feedback from the airplane and its controls; that inhuman attention to the minutiae of data that is constantly streaming from the instruments was persistently required, and that the distracting voice of some perhaps very attractive stew was enough to momentarily lose situational awareness, whereas having the yoke in one's hand, with its pull and push, was sufficient to restore engagement of the bigger head. That told me everything I needed to know about Bussism.
