Reply to comment by BlueMikeStu in Are simulators (PC Building, Car fixing) good to learn its basics? by dimtril

But if you were to choose between the unskilled person with 100 hours in the Sim game who has access to YouTube, and compare that person to another unskilled person who never touched the sim, would you choose the person who used the sim?

If I had to choose between these 2 morons? Neither.

I'd choose a thousand other factors first, to be honest. Like, if I were giving it a weighing score, the willingness to watch the YouTube video would be a +100 and the sim knowledge would be a +0.5-+1 at best.

I've played fucking thousands of hours of Call of Duty and I'm under no delusion that said experience means a god damned thing in anything remotely comparable.

Cod is not a simulation, nor is it trying to be. I understand where you’re coming from, but it’s like you’re comparing driver’s ed software to need for speed. Obviously the program that helps you learn to do a thing is going to be more helpful than a pure entertainment product that makes no attempt at accuracy.

I'd pick whichever guy included the make, model, and year in his Google/ YouTube search.
