There is obviously a consensus between those in academia on this list with 
respect to "hemispheric localization".
So, what does the non-existence of "hemispheric localization" say about 
early childhood development of fine motor skills and research that has 
shown that art types are wired different than tech types.   Let alone the 
ability to roll the first time after reading, studying about rolling and 
watching rolls being performed.  Help me out here!

Mind you, I am not saying that either is wrong, but that people have unique 
make ups that predispose them to developing in certain areas of specialty 
with greater ease than in others.  Would we call that failure on the part 
of the instructor or the student?  I think neither.

So, what do we call it when someone can't roll?   They are: "Not in their 
right mind."

Of all the things I've lost - I miss my mind the most!
