Comment on Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of practice.

You are doing the same thing (e.g. practising a specific piece of music on a specific instrument). If you are doing it poorly or on world-class level, it is still the same thing. It’s not identical actions within the task of practising that song, but no matter how good you are, it would be still called the same thing (“practising to play song X on instrument Y”).

  You claimed the opposite.
  
  My original post was: Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is the definition of insanity.
  
  You said "No, you are not doing the same thing and expecting different results"
  
  I said "You are doing the same thing when practising"
  
  You said “You reworded my comment”
  
  If you mean “saying the opposite” by “rewording the comment” then you are right. But to me, saying the opposite is not rewording.

I mean how much do you want to generalize? Practicing now means doing the same thing over and over, ignoring the adjustments you make? Ignoring the fact that someone who never practiced vs a 10 year practiced will sound different, but she did the same thing for 10 years, it should sound the same if nothing changed.

  “I’m going to get a drink.” - “I am doing the same.”
  
  Will the second person immitate every movement the first one makes? Will the second person use the exact same words and intonation to order a drink? Will the second person order exactly the same drink?
  
  Or will both people make their way to the bar however they like, and then each use their own words to order any drink they happen to want and “doing the same” just means that they will each end up with a drink in their hands?
