Are we talking about a physical skill or a personal capacity for knowledge? Because while your argument might have merit when applied to something like sports, it doesn't hold much water when talking about accumulated knowledge. Yes, I might forget how to do a math problem the way I could when studying for a test in college, but I'll never forget that knowledge exists and where to find it if I should need to relearn. The metaphorical peak I'm speaking of relates to a person's ability to index knowledge like a search engine for the internet.

There, you've peaked.

Knowledge too is bound by those rules. We're constantly forgetting as we learn new stuff. > I'll never forget that knowledge exists and where to find it if I should need to relearn. Meaning you'd have to practice to again reach your former performance. Sure you may reach your peak level again and reach it quicker thanks to your old practice. But you do need to practice again. And then again, if you want to keep it.
