I do see both sides. eg, my example about the military use of newly winged aviators as IP's. All of your 'detractors' here also see both sides. Different ways to express it though. We haven't even touched on complacency
But that is the challenge for experienced or familiar folks. Even as you mentioned that some of your ATP CFI's wanted to blow off parts of a checklist (overly familiar thus complacent) which you declined (wisely) to do.
Maturity and professionalism is that antidote.
Antidote for inexperience is exposure in various operating environments. Read hours.
