Pilots make mistakes sometimes. I, the bike rider also make mistake sometimes. Therefore I can fly an airplane and I will be as good.

Jokes aside, making mistakes is not a good common factor in order to evaluate if two different systems can be practically interchanged. You need more. What type of mistakes? In what situations, and how to mitigate them. This is a surprisingly common misunderstanding running wild here. You cannot even switch the places of two humans, even two professors in real life using this line of reasoning.
