These conversations often remind me of the power of the human mind to intuit but not understand something conceptually.
Someone like myself loves knowing the details of how stuff works, and even with a head full of fundamental knowledge, someone who just does it and feels it can drive better. You find it in biking too, tonnes of deliberation goes on online about suspension and ergonomics and technique etc, then someone who doesn't think about any of that blows past you on the trail.

They may not be able to use the right terminology for what they do but there is a fair chance they'll play a lot better than those that do know all the right terminology. In part this is because the one is 'just' knowledge, the other is endless practice to get it right. They are two different skills and really gifted individuals are good at both.
