"Aiming is useless"

[21SF 2.0]

Just because you’re good at something, doesn’t make you good at teaching it.

OK, so stop.

You stop. I want to be done with this inane back-and-forth.

Exactly.

I wonder if any of those great shooters that you constantly hear in any media ever took class from each other? Like hickok45 ever took a class from Jerry? Etc.

I just spent 17 hours in the E.R. due to an issue with my right eye and finally got some sleep, but when I have access to a real keyboard I'll write what the "Aiming is useless guy" is trying to convey without clickbait, false dichotomies, declarative hyperbole, or logically incoherent statements.

As someone else said, being good at something does not mean that one knows how to teach it. This is why good teachers are rare, not common. Most of you know this from watching videos which ostensibly want to teach you how to disassemble or reassemble a gun or part, and you've had to watch many videos to find a good one if you found a good one at all. Usually, we cobble together info from several videos, and sometimes the info in a video is wrong, to say nothing of skipped over procedures, shaky cameras, and hands in the way.

I'm a 3D artist and I cannot tell you how many times I've seen tutorials that skip over critical information, and people often make logic errors in trying to emphasize a point.

Example, people often say that Tesla is not a car company to emphasize its advancements in robotics and AI, including self-driving. This logic error is called a false dichotomy. It IS a car company, but not *just* a car company. It is never *not* a car company.

It has its place for all kinds of applications but point shooting is probably more important to practice.
