Tacoma. Perhaps a bit arse about. "The decline of Technical skills"? Technical skills are improving, continually. Aviation wise. There is a concomitant degradation of Airmanship, is that what you meant? Airmanship is
not technical, in spite of the engineers who insist it be seen that way. Arguably, Autoflight is not technical either.
The day Technology replaces what a Pilot can do has nothing whatever to do with land bound technical Industries. Hire cheap Help? Fine. Put them in the cockpit? Are you Mad?
Mechanization is nothing if not basic. Logic is a fancy way of saying
prior calculation.
The challenge in Aviation is not mechanization, but devolving what is an ART into ones and twos. For my dough, it is impossible.
In a wildly chaotic airborne environment, one seeks to inject prior calculations into SURVIVAL? NO, and that is why the BUS gives up when the stink is fresh into the FAN.

This whole deal is an illusion, at least in the way it is framed here.
Safety concerns. You might be misunderstanding the nature of 'feedback', in both technical and physiological dimension.
Tactility is CUE. CUE is survival, lack thereof is dangerous. Parsing as if a strictly environmental and parochial "bias" exists is not helpful. There is no such argument.
Both autoflight and Manual control are CUE DEPENDENT. Who is the caveman? Without sensing, Aviation doesn't exist.
