It's probably a little bit like a Cessna pilot trying to land a 747. I'm sure the plane can almost land itself, and ground control can talk you through it, but wouldn't you rather have someone who has done it before?

Eh, most 747 pilots have probably flown a number of smaller planes before.

Having a number of hours in a small plane in no way disqualifies you to fly bigger planes.

Also in this case they aren't only the pilot but also the constructor of the "plane".

(That said while most pilots started small not all Cessna pilots should go on to fly passengers or even cargo.)

Unless I’m mistaken, that was actually the point being made; you made it again for him.

Your argument was going the other direction.

It's your closing parenthetical that's the important point here.
