I would argue that it takes a lot more spatial reasoning to balance over uneven terrain by manipulating many-jointed arms and legs then to wasd your way around

I would argue that it takes a lot more spatial reasoning to balance over uneven terrain by manipulating many-jointed arms and legs then to wasd your way around a map that's mostly smooth.

Funny how that works out - high level navigational skills can be improved by deliberate practice and tasks of adaptive difficulty, whereas engaging in ordinary tasks honed by eons of evolution don't much affect it?
