It's a 'cute' statement, however, it's old and addresses the effectiveness or lack there of preflight preparation.
I know a US Navy test pilot that earned his PVT from a mom&pop and I also know a prestigious aviation university graduate that dragged a wingtip.
I knew how to recover from a stall before my first flight.....because I could read.
If you can read, you can learn whatever you want......
