> Those helicopter pilots must have a very steady hand. Piloting a helicopter in general requires an incredibly steady hand on unintuitive controls that interact with each other in ways that are difficult to predict[1]. Being able to do that with high precision, a disturbingly small margin of error, and fatal consequences for almost any error is basically a superpower. [1] SmarterEveryDay has an interesting video[2] about learning to hover a helicopter, which apparently requires trying to hover (badly) until the brain learns how to abstract away all of the complexity.
