In response to your bowling story, I have to offer this short memoir, as
a cautionary tale;^}
I had a short bowling career back in high school. I bowled with friends
maybe a dozen times in the course of the winter. My first game was around
250. My last was, oh, -10 or something: one ball jumped across into the
next lane. The scores of the intervening games were an approximately linear
interpolation between these two values.
What did I learn? I don't know exactly; but, whatever it was, it was
negative. It was something I'd have to _unlearn_ if I ever wanted to bowl
again.
Is such a thing possible?
