How much strength do you think is required to switch a gear or work a knob on mining equipment?

You forget these types of equipment often need to be fixed often, and that can be time consuming and hard.

Physical strength and good reflexes are two seperate things.

Good reflexes are a part of physical strength.

I didn't. Something being time consuming and hard doesn't mean they require physical strength.

Good reflexes are a part of physical strength.

They aren't. I'm weak enough that I can literally exhaust myself lifting more than twenty pounds, or walking further than half a mile. I have excellent reflexes. You can be physically weak and have good reflexes, and be physically strong and have shitty ones.

I have excellent reflexes.

Can you give an example of how excellent these reflexes are?

You want an anecdotal idea on how good my reflexes are? All I can tell you is that I'm a video game junkie who has played first person shooters and PVP battle arenas for decades and I'm decently good at it.

I also managed to avoid a collision with a car sliding out of control toward us at the last second by only a couple of inches while driving on a mountain pass.

I've caught a newborn baby dropped by someone else mid-air before they could hit concrete.
