It was sarcastic because you don't support your arguments with data. What you hope to believe, want to believe, etc. is one thing, but what carries the day is an assertion supported by data. It would have been a much stronger argument (by you and EAA) to cite what percentage of current professional aviators started out flying toy planes.
