Nobody is saying that.
The point is that the involvement is being beat up by the media.
The classic example is the flight sim allusion. The guy had a a computer with 3 screens, THAT IS NOT A FLIGHTSIM.
Some people reconstruct the entire thing button for button, this was nothing in comparison.
In fact I have seen guys with more complex car sims than that.
They are clutching at straws at the moment by trying to blame the pilots.
My own flight instructor was a senior pilot for a now defunct but historic airline...and he was a raging alcoholic whenever he was more than 24 hours from a cockpit
That actually is not illegal, so I am not sure what your point is there.
Anyway time will tell.
