On practice
you don't need to pay attention to everything. analyzing every minute detail is worthless when you're unaware of your goal. if you have a problem to solve, and are engaged in the cycle of play -> practice, your watching is purposeful.
play -> practice
not all information is important.
chunk based vs all based
low stake environments encourage playing.
a freestyle way of learning. without arbitrary goals.
the myth of expertise - it stems from the myth of 10,000 hours.
you can divide skills into the base skill and the tree of chunks (specializations)
you could learn the base skill, and one specialization, and reach expert level at least in that one subject.
but there's no such thing as an arbitrary delay until performance can achieve meaningful results
if you're optimizing towards winning, "becoming an expert" is a redundant idea.
you play -> then fail?
no
you try -> it's an attempt.
it is always an attempt because you can do better. therefore it never was binary. it was always closer to a range.
you can go 8th, or 7th, or 1st.
you can also play a game and fail and still get value (or play without making any mistakes). so why care about failure?
so success or failure aren't just bad metrics. they're flawed.
you will be put (your tasks/workload) where you belong (your skill level). bottom line is you don't need to practice if you're passing the tests. because why would you practice? in that case practice is secondary and definitely not the goal.
there's something called fundamentals. and for fundamentals
what is your approach to creativity. you go into a game but you don't think about how it's going to turn out (ideally). you may go into a game with goals feedback in mind. you learn from other people, your own mistakes, and new information you discover when playing organically. just playing the game will make you get better. but you must supplement with practice.
if you don't play you don't learn. learning is secondary, and the range you're trying to improve.
playing gives you feedback. you cold-shoulder iterative practice, yet it can teach you things.
there's a line between performance and practice.
practice isn't a guessing game.
understanding is compressing and encoding information. to falter to remember means there's a gap in understanding.
