Do all successful pianists practice scales consistently? Will the notion of a successful pianist change in a way that requires less practicing? Knowledge work tends to be more volatile than piano work.

That said, I think my train runs on the pursuit of enchantment.

To track and navigate towards where new and personally meaningful knowledge appear. If such a place is out of sight, this turns into creating the place.

I think any successful pianists (or substitute in your favorite physical space atom manipulator archetype here) does "something like" practicing scales because that's how to develop the mind/muscle connection to actually perform live

Ofc not everyone performs live, but its a good proxy for async speed of execution too
