Re: If you want to bet better, don't practice

"in my nobody opinion, an oversimplification of how the brain and neuromuscular system works in most people."

It's funny how, not taking this out of context, one might interpret that two ways.

Phillip, I'm surmising, maybe incorrectly, is using oversimplification to refer to the idea that in "dumbing it down too much," nuances of the complete learning model may not be accounted for.

...and that's fine....

and yet there's a way to spin the above quote differently:

We are creatures of habit: bad and good. If a good task is too hard, breaking it into pieces and/or slowing it down is much of our arsenal.

Mr. Schwebel's recent mastery in chunks hasn't worked well for me but I should probably give it another try, as the slow down approach is a long road as you mention, full of twists and turns that find you taking 2 steps forward and 1 back as a result of sometimes absent or bad practice: ironically enough bringing us full circle to the original ideas of stepping away from practice for a while in the interest of improving, or at least, as Karl anecdotes: failing to regress beyond quick recovery.

Of course taking a break beyond say a week, doesn't have economies of scale anymore than 1 light beer 1/3 less calories, 2 light beers, 2/3 less calories does.
