I agree with rogerrogerr, and your comparisons don’t make sense to me. Getting good at complex motions and understanding theory is far different than building a simple model of cause and effect in the real world.

Most people can’t explain the physics they see, but they can deduce enough to be able to predict the effects of physical actions most of the time.

that's because they - and their ancestors - experience physics all the time, not because they saw physics on TV
