I understand what you said the first time and I agree with you, you won't be able to only practice in a flight simulator and expect to take your flight license after that.

But again, it can give you a head start. Even learning what yaw, yoke and so on is easier if you can actually practice it, even virtually, helps you more than not knowing anything when first starting out.

(I could say "trust me, I know, because I am that person", but I won't stoop that low).
