Jester I am guessing its something that is human nature ingrained in all of us to a degree and maybe its not all bad either.
I do know having spent most of my life in active full scale 'Instructing', there's that (I) word agine, its really no different there either. Where most will do anything to avoid flying with the 'instructor' but of course that is much more closely regulated by the FAA and I sure do not want model aviation to go that direction.
