A documentary I strongly recommend to everybody (it's on YouTube): Tao Russell's "Being in the world". It's ostensibly about the life and work of Hubert Dreyfus, the famous MIT philosopher that was an AI skeptic. But it interviews carpenters and jazz and flamenco musicians and cooks etc. and (way oversimplifying here) the takeaway is that the skill is not in you, it's in this moment of skillfull interaction with the world. Gigerenzer seems to come awfully close to this point, but keeps missing it. At the critical moment the genius baseball batter is one with his bat, with the wind, with the noises, with each signal coming from his musculature -- this is not a Cartesian subject metaphorically manipulating levers and keys to move a robot, this is a situation. It's a whole thing. This is why even in sports where pitch sizes are regulamented (like soccer) there's a substantial home game advantage even in the absence of crowds. That's where they train. This is why pure mathematicians obsess over that particular chalk. This is why Kenny G sounds so shitty, he's recording against a backing track in an aquarium in a studio, and why improvised jazz sounds so great.
