RE: Happy Birthday HAL !
Chuck Yeager is the exception that proves the rule. Secondly he got to “play” without consideration for 480 other lives while he played.

He never pylon raced at 300 Feet over the trees in marginal VFR and blowing snowin a mountain valley with 120 passengers at 150 miles per hour with no autopilot. Not a comparison of skills but a completely different type of flying when it comes to the adage; “there are...”

Completely different thing to test pilot an aircraft. I lived with an airforce test pilot (dad) and he also flew transport category aircraft with passengers. He never ported the test pilot attitude to transport aviation.

Also i think bold is poetic license!

Cheers!
