Agreed. I recently started a very physical job after decades of laptop work. Your personality changes quick, anxiety levels etc, as your body adapts. This is at 54 after 3 decades as an IC writing software. Lifestyle is by far the biggest driver, the body’s record is read-write memory rather than write-once.

Population level proof is, at best, a model which fails every minority, including individuals. Which is arguably still useful, but only a different fallacy.

Yeah, but then the comment was making sweepingly generalised statements based off personal experiences.
