[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prepping for the test is not like an athlete training. Prepping for the test is like an athlete training to handle a specific metric that has no bearing in the game. For example, a football player figures out how to trim 1/10th of a second off the time for the 40 yard dash by diving the last 1 yard. It does not make him a better player, but makes him look like a better player.[/quote] But your example does make it exactly like an athlete training. There are plenty of workout wonders out there. You are right, running fast does not necessarily make one a better football player -- but ALL of the football players do focus on their 40 time, trying to maximize it. They know that fair or not, they will be judged on it, so they had better do the best that they can. It does not mean that they are cheating or getting any unfair advantage. They are instead making sure that they are maximizing their ability to show their best.[/quote]
