>Which becomes the same thing in airplanes. Pilots don't really know how to fly without instruments anymore. Well that's just a blatantly wrong generalisation you made there, curious as to where you got that from. Consider looking up how pilot training is done before making such assumptions. Even though modern airplanes make heavy use of technology, there are emergency scenarios where lots of instruments may not work, and pilots receive more than enough training to fly an airplane in that scenario just to give one example among tons of others. edit: grammar

It seems there's a difference between theory and practice. https://www.businessinsider.com/too-many-pilots-cant-handle-an-emergency-2014-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/too-many-pilots-cant-handle-... Now, I'm not an expert into pilots statistics, so my example might be off, but I do see a worrisome pattern in my daily work (software engineering). Blind reliance on those "frameworks". Which isn't bad in itself, but no-one really knows how they work anymore. They just assume. And that leads to lots of cargo cults. Which ranges from inefficient to outright dangerous.
