Okay, and so one of the expressions I learned at Electronic Arts, which I love, which pertains to this, is

We actually don’t want our kids to learn football. I mean, yeah, it’s really nice that I have a wonderful three-point stance

and that I know how to do a chop block and all this kind of stuff

But we send our kids out to learn much more important things. Teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance, etcetera, etcetera

And these kinds of head fake learning are absolutely important

And you should keep your eye out for them because they’re everywhere

And all I have to say is that
