And who would you prefer in the pilot's seat? To say suggest that you don't understand something without a formal underlying theory is one view, but not mine.

And who would you prefer in the pilot's seat?
To say suggest that you don't understand something without a formal underlying theory is one view, but not mine. I feel like I understand English (as in a deep understanding, not just the ability to interpret sentences) without anything like a set of rules, and everything like a set of experiences akin to a pilot's experience with flight.
- hueving 10y agoWhat does that have to do with anything I said? I'm pointing out the difference between "understanding" and "getting used to".
- AndrewOMartin 10y agoI'm refuting that difference.
- hueving 10y agoNot very well. I'm not talking about pilots. I fly with many frequent fliers that are completely comfortable with flying while having no technical understanding of the mechanics.
- AndrewOMartin 10y agoMy mistake. I misread the phrase "many people that fly" as "many people who pilot planes".
