So their ability to aim and knowledge of how to compensate for the wind, distance, bullet drop, etc. would be lost if their brain were put into a different body? The swordfighter would lose their understanding of timing, positions, feints, etc.?
That isn't what I would have expected. Is that what the science shows? Would, for instance, a wrestler or jujutsuka lose their knowledge of takedowns, positioning, locks, and so on too?
And are you saying we have some reason to believe the cerebellum wouldn't be transplanted as well if we developed the technology for brain transplants?
