Many people who say precision landnav skills are not necessary actually don't have those skills or the experience to know if the skills would be of use.
Very few of us are going to be doing any land navigating in fog, total darkness, or on featureless terrain.
These days, GPS is far more reliable than the skill set, an expensive compass, and a map in the overwhelming majority of cases.
No doubt someone could come up with a contrived situation where that is not true, but the chance of the contrived situation coming true is very limited.
