It's refreshing to see someone say it.
As a (non-commercial) pilot it's honestly infuriating watching people who have never tried to fly a plane, never tried to locate and identify another aircraft from the air, and never controlled (or even sat with a controller or toured a tower, tracon, or center) make these claims and statements about how easy these problems they don't understand are to fix as if they're experts on the topic.

A lot of naive uninformed people who had no expertise and were told by experts how they could never contribute to a problem or field have successfully built businesses funded by the very people who created this community.
