Effortless?[edit]
@Equinox, Gymnastics is NOT effortless. It is not defined like that anywhere. It takes years to master. There is a reason it is a competitive sport. Making it APPEAR effortless and artistic is part of the objective of the sport, and that too is scored. Moreover, most other online sources do not describe mental gymnastics as effortless. It is not specially used that way either, or do you have examples of its usage specifically with that meaning? EyeTruth (talk) 15:58, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- When we describe a motion as effortless we are talking about the effort involving in making that specific motion, and not the effort of learning how to do it. I can read a newspaper effortlessly but it took me many years to learn how to read! Equinox ◑ 23:41, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
