Humans are really good at imitating. Even better than critical thinking in some ways.
I remember seeing a video with a “trick box” with a bunch of dummy knobs and levers. [1] A researcher demoed it to a child, doing all sorts of superfluous actions before finally dispensing the candy. The child imitated and got the candy.
Then they replaced the opaque box with a clear one, so that it was obvious that only the last action mattered. The child still performed the ritual before getting the candy.
A chimpanzee was given the same task and quickly got the candy by skipping all the unnecessary steps.

- casey2 4y agoThe difference is that nobody was sitting next to the chimp lying to them about how it works. False documentation is worse than no documentation.

Maybe they save-scum and play for days to get 10 minutes of great footage to make them look like a rock-star. Maybe they use mods or use cheat codes.
