Yeah this is like in aviation with the advent of GPS. Many pilots learn now solely relying on a GPS to let them know where they are and navigate, yet if and when it fails they have no knowledge on how to navigate via paper charts and outdated nav aids cause they were never trained or bothered to learn having developed a total reliance on gps. Now GPS is great and all and is by far the best way but like others have already said it's really only a supplement to the "paper maps" and your skills on navigating. Now one was saying that this new tech (abs,tcs,etc.) gives the ability to a lesser skilled rider to handle a "sketchy" bike and go as fast as a skilled rider without tech and somehow the more skilled riders disapprove because apparently they feel threatened by the unskilled going just as fast is nonsense. Maybe the unskilled rider would take a tip from aviation where they just don't let you jump into an f-16 right off the bat, every good pilot came up the ranks starting in a small manageable aircraft and progressively advancing their skills in order to move up to the next aircraft(and not kill themselves). If all riders took the time to start small and develop skills then even when they did move up to said "sketchy" bike they would 1. Be more responsible and 2. Not be tripping the electronics. Cause as we know the electronic *aids* only kick in when the rider has made a mistake, so therefore if they develop riding skills they wouldn't be tripping those aids in the first place. That is all.

Not even remotely similar.
-Ride by wire is not tripping the electronics or an electronic aid.
-The system is all electronics and only runs on electronics.
When the electronics fails the bike doesn't run.
Your analogy is like saying it is a mistake to active the turbofan on a F-16 and you should be only using the Rotor to navigate.
