 That's why it's called 'training' and not 'education'.  Education is
 something we only need to learn once and we 'know' it, thus we can give
 the right answer when quiried.  Training is a different animal.  One
 must respond without think, or at least the thoughts must be very
 simple....no calculating, figuring or moving your hand imitating the
 airplane to try to remember which way to push the rudder in an upset
 condition.
 
 Athletes train constantly.  The education of how to catch a pass only
 takes a few minutes, the training to catch a pass thrown like a bullet
 with a cornerback hanging on you and 100,000 people screaming is the
 same exercise, but with different circumstances.  Same as those winky
 little upset conditions that the IFR check ride guy has you show
 recovery from is a whole lot different then being upset in turbulent
 IMC.  Education precedes training, but only training will bring home the
 bacon---whether that training is in a simulator, with a good instructor
 or hours of mentally visualizing it.  In short, knowing the right thing
 to do doesn't count for much, being able to do the right thing is
 everything.
