"And I figure that Surf Rock would be the most fun way to do that."

No! No! No! NO!! NO!!! NOOOOO!!!!! 8^D

Like with brewing up a Pale Ale or a Pilsner, what the plebes think might be the easiest to produce often requires the most skilled producer. Any hack can brew Peanut Butter Bacon Porter. It's the things we take for granted that require the most expertise. That old saw "How hard can it be?" is the most delusional phrase we have.

How often does one have the same (type of) interaction with the same set of people so that the pattern of the interactions becomes ingrained or pushed "down" into habit? And does variation decrease (monotonically) as iterations pile up? When I first started brushing my teeth with my left hand, I was terrible at it. I tried to get my left hand to mimic my right hand. But that was simply the wrong way to do it. I finally gave up on mimicry and allowed my left hand to wiggle whatever way it wanted in order to focus on the objective of brushing. Now I'm quite good at it. But the way I brush with my left hand is different from the way I brush with my right, much more arm movement and much less wrist movement, the way I grip the brush differs, etc. And that experience helped with a badly acute case of tennis and golfer's elbow after chemo when I was trying to build my strength back. I got tennis elbow on my right side and golfer's on my left. The way our stabilizer muscles work seems to be a good example of latent low dimensional representation. I'm not sure where the data stands these days on innate handedness, though.
