OK, just keep telling yourself that .

They did not fail people for looking down too much. They failed people for not looking at their instruments enough to keep the aircraft under control. Remember that no one wants to come back from the sim and say, "I failed because I could not maintain altitude." Instead they walk out of the sim and say, "I failed because they said I looked down too much." I heard some strange excuses why people didn’t pass, but the real reason was they did not fly to ATP standards.
