What Mark Twain is basically saying here is that pilots need
to be of the ability to make judgement calls, and the ability to make good
judgement calls depends on whether or not one is intelligent. He
takes his point further by saying that, basically, intelligence is genetic—one

cannot be a pilot because intelligence (according to this statement of Twain)
cannot be acquired.
