Resistance training seems necessary for retraining muscles. If a bridge is supported by the "wrong" muscles, it can't just instantly swap to the atrophied "right" support muscles because the bridge would collapse.

Instead the atrophied function has to play a series of increasingly harder games until it can demonstrate that it can support reality. Then the "wrong" muscles can safely deactivate.

As an aside, this reality/game distinction is a useful model for understanding power. Power is ceded to those who can perform in reality. Having a high score in a game doesn't matter if you break down and choke in reality.

In fact... having a high score can be *correlated* with tendency to choke. Why? Because the fastest way of learning/improving is often by maximizing failure rate and learning from it.

If all your skills come from gamified domains where death means nothing, you'll have technical skill, but very little experience dealing with actual reality. You will habitually try to self-destruct when encountering new challenges so that you can learn from the post-mortem.
