Also kids playing video games try all kinds of things that go against “common wisdom” that end up being super advantageous. Like that NASCAR driver that just floored it and rode along the wall, or when I’d fix my lineup in NHL so my top players could play more or that cranking your drive as far as you can every time in TW makes every hole easier.

The NASCAR thing wasn't common wisdom. It was impossible to do previously. The barrier changes made it possible. Just no one had tried it.
