"Let’s just say I’ve seen (proportionately) FAR more silly mistakes with cars, trucks and RV’s than I’ve ever seen with aircraft."
Well, that's to be expected. Compare getting a pilot's license to a license necessary to motor a 40' 5th wheel and truck down the road. Oh wait, you get one of those when you get one for your Honda, same type of vehicle, right? If you have a license to pilot a Cessna 172, then that same license should enable you to fly a Airbus A380. Same type of vehicle, right? Wings, engine, wheels, it's just a bit bigger. :)
And of course the consequences of silly mistakes in an aircraft can be much more severe...lethal perhaps.
