It's not a stretch, it is called an analogy. Analogies are often intentionally exaggerated in order to make something that is perhaps not clear much clearer.
I'm surprised that you can say it's ok to fly timid if you're my squadmate but anyone else is just doing it because they are terrible. Some of the people who get abused for this have been playing for decades. Who are we to decide that they do it through lack of ability or effort to learn.
