You're right.
Unless you want to fly your airplane to its potential. Then additional knowledge and skill helps one do that. This is a forum to share knowledge. If one wants to ignore the knowledge of others, that's fine, too. Some people are happy to spend their life at less than 30 deg AOB and never expand their knowledge. It only hurts them when a situation arises where additional skills are required beyond the skills they currently have. I gave a guy a checkride once who had 1000 hours and had never stalled an airplane. Was he a safe pilot? Did he need more knowledge to have the right to carry passengers? Opinions vary. I gave him an engine failure right over a runway that was easily reachable for a guy with average skills. All he had ever done was cruise around and used shallow angles of bank so he lacked those average skills. He had no idea how his plane actually flew and he sucked. Flying certainly wasn't complicated for him. Should he have a license?

I think you guys are making it way to complicated there is only one control surfave that "turn" a plane without any other input from other control surfaces, rudder. If I had to give up two of my control surfaces in flight it sure would not be the rudder... You can change your heading with rudder, adjust your altitude with power and level your wings with rudder, what else do you need?
