Bullshit. All manned passenger aircraft have some kind of control stick
or column for controlling pitch & roll, pedals for rudders and a
throttle for power. Turning an aircraft is as easy to do as moving the
stick. Changing the speed is as easy as moving the throttle. All
aircraft contain this same basic aircraft instrumentation even if some
FBW systems. The 767 definitely does.

The WTC aircraft  flight controls were hydralic

If you have no intention to land, drop the gears, raise flaps, following
flight plans or anything else then you can learn all you need to know in
a few lessons.

And fly-by-wire is irrelevant for a number of reasons, not least because
767s are not fly-by-wire.

This is why one is not allowed to use a mobile phone in an aircraft because
the spurious emissions from a mobile phone could potentially interfere with
electronic circuitry that controls the actual plane, so obviously presents a
safety hazard.

Bollocks. Its more for the benefit of mobile networks base stations
confused by large numbers of phones ripping over their network. Phones
pose such a "threat" that many airlines are looking to install micro
cells on their aircraft.

Around about item 12 or 13 in the prepush back checklist on that
vintage 767 is where the Airphones are selected 'ON'

But the main reason why hand eye coordination isn't enough is because they
travel at high speed and require relatively large distances to manoeuvre.
Distances that exceed human perceptual capabilities.

Complete and total bollocks. Hundreds of commercial and military pilots
from WWI, WWII, Korea onwards would disagree with you. Do you think jet
pilots in 1949 used sophisticated computer systems? Do you think they
used *any* computer systems?

Most Student Pilots, Private Pilots and some Commercials are flying
over each of their countries using no more than compass and chart and
successfully navigating over oceans...
The only 'computor' used can be as simple as the circular sliderule.
