Hmmmmmmm.......
70 years ago there were 300-hour pilots doing visual approaches at night to runways illuminated by flares, and doing it in 4-engine bombers that may or may not have attracted foreign-manufactured balls of lead during the inbound flight.........and now with all the "goodies" and training available to modern crews a 10,000 hour pilot can't fly a visual approach in daylight CAVOK conditions?
That's progress I guess......
