In some cases it seems that even the I function cannot make motion happen. I am thinking of cute challenges with fingers, where the victim is shocked to find that they cannot complete a simple sounding motion command. LIke boys who cannot pick up the chair while girls can. Or the hand on the desk with the "long tom" finger tucked under and then one finds that they can raise all the other fingers except the ring finger which will not move by brain command at all, but you may pick it up with the other hand! Today I found a new one. With the other fingers collapsed against the palm the pointer can be bent all the way into a hook shape. But with the other fingers kept straigth, the pointer will ONLY bend into L shape, not a hook. When you take the tip, with the other hand, and deliberately bend it down into a hook you can feel that it is loose and disconnected, just like it were dead. Next time I am with young children I will show them this stunt since that sort of thing fascinates them. So when I-function cannot do the job, even with the strongest will behind it, feelings are going to arise. In a game or trick these feelings are funny and frustrating in a way that can be laughed off, especially if no-one can do it. But let it be the case that others, or even worse--all the others, are successful and the individual is likely to pass the point of being able to keep trying and just shuts down. Regards,
