Every time I see "but your skills will atrophy" arguments like this, they always leave an implied "and you'll need them!" lingering, which is a neat trick because then you never need to explain.
However, I would like someone to explain this to me: If I haven't needed these skills in enough time for then to atrophy, what catastrophic event has suddenly happened that means I now urgently need them?
This just sounds very much like the old "we've forgotten how to shoe our own horses!" argument to me, and exactly as relevant.

The scenario we want to avoid is: "sorry, your claim was denied, the AI said your condition did not need that treatment. You'll have to sell your house."
