"There's a short list of what your ship can do.

I'll take a "good pilot" who's lost a ship 100 times, over the "great pilot" who claims to be good with a ship they've never lost. A good pilot losing a ship 100 times is a sign of them pushing that edge of understanding what others don't. It shows they know what their ship can't do.
Knowing what your ship can't do, shows me you've found the Edge."
