I...I agree; especially with the juggling anecdote. I have a similar one with the gymnastics. I've been practicing for the last 8 months and have found there is definitely a process of some sort in getting me to understand, and my body to inherently perform various tricks. But it's not really explainable. <BR/><BR/>There are steps I've taken and some basics I practice time and again, but when you actually pull off a trick, it's so much more than the individual components that make up the trick. Balancing in a hand stand for instance....it's way more than just flipping onto your hands and then holding your self in position. There are nuances of muscle control and body position so fine as to be imperceptable. And it's different day-to-day. I know somethings going on, I just don't know what....after a while, you just do it.Gabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491164740457304897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264230419520515196.post-40746999450304890102009-03-09T11:22:00.000-04:002009-03-09T11:22:00.000-04:00Good points M & K - and I think there's no...Good points M & K - and I think there's no contradiction in saying the different forms of knowling are "equally dependable and correct - in their own areas/contexts."<BR/><BR/>To answer Mark's question, I suspect that overthinking & overanalyzing the "juggling process" would actually result in dropping MORE and increase my risk of getting fired. Some activities are simply ill-suited to the process treatment. <BR/><BR/>(but I could be wrong)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923543314100538622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264230419520515196.post-16202277726450673902009-03-09T09:36:00.000-04:002009-03-09T09:36:00.000-04:00And yeah - Jenna as a Wii bowling champion is a gr...And yeah - Jenna as a Wii bowling champion is a great example!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323501105709720347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264230419520515196.post-67120547080069949722009-03-09T09:35:00.000-04:002009-03-09T09:35:00.000-04:00Interesting topic (and Happy Birthday, btw).To con...Interesting topic (and Happy Birthday, btw).<BR/><BR/>To continue your juggling example - would it make a difference if, say you had a customer who paid you for every ball that was caught and fired you if you dropped too many balls? I would think that in that case, you might be well served to "know" a bit more about <I>how</I> you are able to juggle - and perhaps even improve the process as best you can.<BR/><BR/>Of course, that arrangement would probably take most of the fun out of juggling, and it probably would be less entertaining, etc etc. But suppose your customer doesn't want to be entertained - suppose they just want someone to catch every ball....<BR/><BR/>I'll buy the "different types of knowledge" argument. But I'm not sure that I would go so far as to say they are equally dependable and correct - both have areas where they outshine the other.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323501105709720347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264230419520515196.post-20167364521271303842009-03-09T09:23:00.000-04:002009-03-09T09:23:00.000-04:00This reminds me of Jenna bowling with the Wii.

Since she kept bowling strikes, who can argue with that? :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885017846154176305noreply@blogger.com
