I'm going to agree that your response is partially true, but there are so many other accidents where other reasons are to blame as well. Inadequate training prior to solo sign offs, loss of SA, poor maintenance/bad luck, high density airspace without ATC separation, etc.

The January 2010 crash was a student on a solo flight who fatally stall/spun into a field. If I remember correctly he was getting forced lower from clouds and got overwhelmed while trying to return to KDVT.

Feb. 2011 crash killed three, two students and an instructor who I knew. CFIT at night into terrain North of Phoenix during an IFR training mission.

May 2013 midair crash which killed 4. The airspace is so crowded in the training areas it's unreal. I remember one FAA Examiner from the local FISDO who refuses to perform checkouts in any of the training areas.

The 17 some odd other accidents involving both maintenance and pilot error are easily found on Google. Not just a bent wingtip or bent prop, but lots of entire hull losses.
