Yes, you do "get it." I agree, it might be a good teaching tool, and I've never argued otherwise. It would certainly be better than saying "never bank more than 30 degrees" or screaming like a schoolgirl when somebody banks further without loading the wing.

Many pilots can understand the concept without the direct AOA install and can fly appropriately. Some definitely appear to find it difficult though, occasionally with fatal results. If you don't know, you shouldn't be flying.
