Re: "Slight Uppercuts" vs "Level Swings" and "Chopping Wood"

If X is able to be taught , then all can do Y.
Not all can do Y.
Therefore X is not able to be taught

The error is in line 1. While technically the 2 premises reach a valid logical conclusion its not sound bc, it has a false premise.
It is assuming that if X is able to be taught = everyone must be able to do Y. I gave multiple examples that discredit that line of reasoning. Thousands of things are able to be taught that not everyone can do.

Jist is, bc some people cannot hit, does not = hitting cannot be taught.


I also more than agreed that everyone has a maximum capacity of hitting talent, if you read my post.
