Fun study that asked people questions about things like where on a bike the pedals, chain, etc were. Surprisingly many people - even frequent cyclists - made basic errors when a bike wasn't actually in front of them: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.3758/BF03195929.pdf …pic.twitter.com/o9zmcxbJD4

The last paragraph pretty much sums it up. Every sentence here is quite remarkable:pic.twitter.com/qCkjvtlZtW

Probably it's wrong study.. Its not always necessary to know everything to use it.. Ex: A good typist won't be able to tell in instant on which row n which column a key is there.. He might need to visualize it n then that visualization can easily go wrong.. Bt his spelling won't.

But I'll still agree to the last part, as it indicates human mind do not need the intricacies of things to use them.. Its really the nifty simple representation of there experiences in using something that matters.. Rest is wastage of our memory resource.. ;-)
