I think he's right - consistently flying at the right speed, altitude and track is a difficult and demanding task. Particularly once you add in managing the aeroplane, navigating, communicating, looking out, and keeping an eye on what your passengers are up to. It took me quite a few years, and I notice that my accuracy in hand flown S&L is, along with punchy RT, one of the first things to degrade if I've not flown for a while.
