Saying that it’s dismissive is like saying writing (insert language) is dismissive that you’re just writing assembly.

at the end of the day, it presents a vector field and predicts the next vector. That’s literally the heart of intelligence just like assembly is the heart of execution. When playing table tennis, your brain is literally predicting seconds into the future to get your body into the right position.

But we aren’t discussing intelligence here. We are discussing how best to utilize that intelligence.

You're making my point for me, saying table tennis is "just a proprioceptive predictor" is dismissively reductive (and not a particularly useful framework for understanding table tennis), even if it is strictly speaking accurate. It's the sort of thing someone who has no idea how hard training for table tennis is would say.
