Many skills reach a point were further training is moot/impossible.

I'm just playing devils advocate.

The real world evidence would seem to indicate that it just may not be possible for most people to ever overcome their primary side bias completely.

I would say that being a player in the premier league of a major world sport is competitive enough to say that the comparison to PCs is at least fair. . . .and NPCs can use TWC too.

My favorite rule after the "Golden Rule" of:

"The GM can change any rule they want for their game."

Is the "Sauce for the Goose" rule of:

"Anything the PCs can do, an NPC can do to them."
