I am not in any way shape or form making light of the pilots skill set. All I’m saying is the captain and the pilot have a different set of skills. One of my good friends has been a Missippi river bar pilot for twenty years and he has told me himself that they have nothing to do with physically steering or maneuvering the ship.

It’s always “I know a guy”. You misunderstood what he meant. Associated Bar Pilots assoc also requires a minimum of a unlimited 2nd mates license which would require doing the duties on a ship that you are referring to.

I dont know if the verbiage is wrong here but they do steer the ship into the river

If we are both in a car, you blindfolded in the driver's seat and me in the passenger's seat. I give you instructions on which direction and how much to turn the wheel, who's "steering"? Its semantics.
