Yes and i have 7 friends who have all lost their lives to aviation some of them far better pilots than I. i just have an overworked guardian angel!
But this is not ego trumpet blowing as you suggest as you will know as well as I that in a sim yes you will get multiple failures and be expected to handle them.
you also know that hard IFR/IMC is not a playground and you are trained to expect the worst and to be able to handle the worst.
If you are saying that I am wrong in suggesting that pilots are on top of hand flying IFR and that technology should not be used to make up for a lack of skills then we are talking a different language
