I assume that the point this post is making is that the cerebral logic exercised by the spinning wheel must be much richer, as you're performing an optimization in continuous physical space, which requires coordination of many muscles in very subtle ways, which depend quite specifically on your orientation and position on the wheel; whereas (supposedly) Go is very discrete and thus can't necessitate the same degree of cognitive complexity/multidimensionality. Managing to stand and walk on uneven terrain is something that our cerebral machine has been trained for as long as things have legs (i.e. around 350 million years) and prepared before, and it has remained a crucial element of evolutionary...
