There is nothing wrong in challenging concepts it is a way of questioning your own beliefs, listening to others and learning from each other.
There is one thing that worries me.
Most aircraft accidents occur because pilots do not fly within their own or the aircraft limits.
The secret of that is to know those limits.
A pilot who thinks he is better than he is suffers the danger of getting into a situation where one day he steps out of those limits, scares himself silly in which case he usually learns or worse crashes and kills himself.
I have now lost seven friends in aviation crashes. When such an event happens we as pilots like to think that the guy was an idiot in an aircraft which was a wreck.
We hate it if the pilots are good experienced guys because that makes us aware of our own vulnerability.
Sadly for me a majority were good experienced guys.
With your attitude at present I would hate you to be someone who may fly outside their own abilities because they know best.
