Taking into account today's state of the are visual systems, you are 
more than right.

I would like to add that visual is mostly contributing to low frequency 
cues (read: attitude, turns, ...), while motion platform mostly 
contributes to high frequency sensations (read: inertial loads, 
vibrations, ....) That's why many pilots (especially acrobat ones) 
stated that simulators aren't realistic -> "the feeling on the butt was 
not right" :)

also agree :)
