At a friends place he played me a youtube video from a regular mountain bike "influencer" (not something I'd normally watch). The subject for the day was a top female mountain biker giving some tips. He did a first run prior to any tips, and managed to demonstrate a mountaineer bike influencer doesn't need to know much about riding mountain bike fast. Then she gave him a few tips and he was a smidgen faster, but I though that was maybe just the practice. Then she said he was over thinking it (perfectly understandable to me, given the mountain biking accidents I've seen), and put a headset on him and turned up the volume. That run was much better. Not only faster, it was visibly smoother.
