Could this be an uintentional cause of greater automation in GA aircraft?

Pilot-in-Control
According to recent data prepared by the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC),
loss of control-inflight (LOC-I) is the dominant cause of fatal GA accident in the past 10 years. “We need to get better at maneuvering our aircraft,” says Rich Stowell, seven-time Master Flight Instructor and author of “Pilot-in-Control” in the March/April 2012
FAA Safety Briefing. “LOC-I happens to low-time and high time pilots, to student pilots and ATPs alike.” Stowell suggests pilots build a multi-layered defense against LOC-I through better training in the mental skills needed to avoid LOC-I,
coupled with better training in the stick-and-rudder skills needed to prevent and recover from LOC-I scenarios.
