I should have included a disclaimer, I strictly speak from my own experience. Seeing people coming from business jets all the way up to the heavies like 747's and MD11's, back on to this little TP and completely messing up.
As for inane generalizations, you seem to have that covered in your first sentence by tarring all TP drivers with the same brush
