Boy, that's a lot of words just to say something that is widely true about people in most any field or activity.
Creative people or people that do a certain something are usually not the ones that can describe what they are doing.
Artists like me rarely think about what we are creating. It's the writers that come up with all these intellectual, froo froo words to describe art.
Lol, the ban hammer got me!

okay, so WTH is figure-8 strafing, and why is it more effective?
It's when you dance with a partner and do-si-do. Now allemande leftGǪ

I do find validity in the old adage "those who can't do, teach" purely from an academic point of view, and I believe you fit in this category fox, but you have a much better chance of finding a good player who can teach more than a bad player could percentage wise... a bad player may learn from a book how to do something, but if he/she fails in demonstrating it's application the lesson is only half learned.
but this thread was an interesting piece of philosophy none the less.
Not so. Bad players can be good teachers because it is simply the reverse process of the OP's statement. Bad players in this game are, as in any endeavor not good at reaction speed or "the doing" but, are good at observing and learning then being able to explain what they are seeing as part of the "big picture".
I'd fit this category in this game. Where, as an artist. I can do but, not explain on words.
