Devils advocate:

Some of the best coaches in American sports have been dudes that weren’t really that good when they played or never played in the league they coached in.

Not disagreeing with you. Just pointing out that it’s not simply white and black. Data is data and it’s up to you to decide what has value and what doesn’t. Writing off data because it doesn’t fit some archetype you have predetermined is objectively sub-optimal 🤷‍♂️

Knowing the game and not growing to 6'5" 300 lbs is a pretty niche exception

You're right tho

Generals ain’t the best combat soldiers, etc. Knowledge and Practice/application are two different things that are not invalidated when not accompanied by the other.

Intellectuals/academics historically play an important role in society (provided that they’re not captured) but aren’t necessarily “doers”. Society needs both to function optimally. It’s good to be proud of work but work isn’t everything. Strategy and design optimize workers and make them more efficient
