Yes, I'm pretty sure most people will realize that the difference between the stamina and physical prowess needed to go from driving virtual F1 races to driving real F1 is much less than the difference between the stamina and physical prowess you need to go from being a soldier in call of duty to being a real soldier.

You know, the former involves physical steering wheels, shifters, pedals, realistic vehicle models, etc.

Meanwhile the latter involves pressing a single button to reload a fire arm and clicking a mouse button to fire.

You have to be pretty dense to think that aiming with a mouse has any resemblance to aiming with sights or a scope or even just pulling the trigger. You know, real guns have recoil.

Meanwhile most high end steering wheels have force feedback that can "fight back".
