Exactly, the first time I heard someone say that I just ripped the entire assertion apart.

If I shoot 1000 jump shots from the same spot on a basketball court, I expect to become better at jump shots from that spot.

If I take 1000 wrist shots, I expect to become better at wrist shots.

Etc.

I don't know why this ridiculous idea caught on, or why so many people accept it as truth.
