As a pilot I would much rather have a thought driven system do things like load an approach, change a freq, pull up a checklist. The distractors and hazards to aviation aren’t associated with proper manipulation of the controls as much as the things that take your attention away from manipulating the controls. Getting stuck in a finger fire screwing up loading an approach or selecting a freq is way more dangerous. It would be a lot easier to fly with your hands and think “load the RANGER 3 Arrival.” It is also a lot easier to tactily feel performance in the flight controls than wonder if you are thinking correctly.
