disagree  Daryo: it is the right term, but you gave a terminally wrong explanation (even worse than a plain wrong term) // wrong as in **NOT APPLICABLE TO THIS ST** //"... you imagine a pilot flying an airplane in virtual reality, while actually sitting in the cockpit???

  -> If you think Wikipedia is "terminally wrong", why don't you rewrite it?

neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: "I don't think you can define a term simply by repeating it." Look familiar?

  -> That comment was about an English-English question where you simply repeated the source term without explaining it. I haven't repeated anything - I've given a translation and a definition.
