Flies
Hmm ok so maybe you can fly. Maybe it was a fluke.
Flies a bunch of times
We may have a hypothesis here.
Flies without fail a million times
Ok we are pretty certain you can fly, let's call it a theory. But hey, we don't know the full picture here, let's leave the possibility open that you can't fly and we just don't understand things completely here.
I stopped reading for maybe a decade when I started post-secondary education. I tried books during that time but it wasn't until finding an author that resonated with me that the interest picked up again. I still mostly only read that author now but I try other authors in between.
Same with video games. I will slowdown or stop for a while but eventually pick it back up again when the right thing comes along.
