"An airplane alone is never "wrong", only in combination with the pilot training it may be."

More pilot training costs money so forget that. Pilot hands on skills are deteriorating because of manufacturerers and airlines discouraging non autopilot operation.

Monitoring an autopilot for thousands of hours does not build or maintain basic piloting skills.
