Nice post 4468.
I beg to agree and disagree - because the chimp inside us can be very different, depending upon our upbringing. Having served my apprentiship on basic aircraft that have no FMC, my 'chimp' never forgets the thrust levers, but it does have a tendancy to forget the toga button. So I am a reverse chimp, and need to practice other aspects of this scenario.
There is also a problem in that some will vehemently disagree that there is any trace of a chimp in any of us, for cultural reasons. And that leads to what one might call 'overconfidence'.
