It's not difficult to make such statements.  NASA, for example, made
credible
statements about landing on the Moon even though it had never done it, and
it
was right.  The Wright brothers made credible statements about flight even
though they had never done it, and they were essentially correct.  Neither
of
these groups were idiots.

I'm surprised by how many pilots are completely unfamiliar with MSFS. 
You'd
think they'd enjoy a good simulation of what they like best.  But pride
and
prejudice are formidable obstacles, I suppose.
