As a little add-on we could ask ourselves if associating a flute with
"bang, bang" is really something that relies on our genes ....
I heavily doubt. The simple fact that already these small kids are so
much influenced by depiction of war/crime, that they consider taking
the flute for a rifle (even resp. especially if it's just a game) as
common practice, should scare us - and certainly this doesn't justify
turning serious flight simulation into a shoot-em game !
