OK, so how much time have you logged in sailplanes, or in a single engine aircraft? I have a couple of hundred hours sailplane time, a bit under 2K total, and have owned my own (well, 4-way partnership) Piper Cherokee for going on 20 years.

With sailplanes, you mostly do return to your starting point, unless you're doing some sort of competition. Similar with small planes: if you're just flying for fun (or for training), you might go up for an hour or so, then return to where you took off from. You can argue all you want, but that's simply the way it is.
