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.

  Not necessarily. If you are learning a skill that requires accuracy (e.g. darts), you will sdo the same thing ovre and over. In the beginning the result will be that you will hardly be able to hit the board at all, and after a ton of practice the result will be that you will hit where you want to hit.

  So by doing the same thing over and over again you will get a different result.

    If your results are different, then by definition what you did was not exactly the same.

      Ok, let’s try this a different way:

      “I’m gonna get a drink.” - “I’m gonna do the same.”

      Is the second person going to immitate every single motion of the first person?

      Or will the second person just also get a drink, maybe not even the same drink?

        Every time I go to the park, I’m able to knock balls right out the park with my favorite bat. Am I more likely to get a career in major league baseball or arrested for animal cruelty?
        Your argument is on par with arguing that because you saw an article about people playing base that you think we should arrest everyone in the stadium for animal cruelty.

  Oops. I appreciate you clearing up the confusion. You ever just feel like a big dumb idiot sometimes? Cause I sure do.

    I do feel like that sometimes, so completely understandable.
