Robotic hand helps pianists overcome “ceiling effect” (arstechnica.com)

I'm learning the piano. I think the development is aimed at those a little above my skill level, but it's interesting about what it implies about how we learn physical skills.

I think that you mentioned that the application might be narrow, and they wanted to chime in on how it might personally have helped them.

That is how they took it regardless of how explicit I was with my language.

OK so I can definitely see why it would seem pointless or really narrow, but I think this would have actually been very helpful for me and people like me.

They responded to "... it doesn’t seem like something that will have much use...", ignoring the rest of the sentence "While it has the potential to be a great therapy tool, it doesn’t seem like something that will have much use beyond that.", in order to tell me I am wrong about it not having therapeutic uses by using their issues as supporting evidence.

Which is an argument, not an addition. There is also nothing wrong with arguing either, I was simply asking why they posed that argument to me.
