12. It is exactly that, and I feel like I popped out of the womb knowing how to do so

I remember in JC I needed an elective and saw "Logic 101" at a convenient time/place so I'm like, let's do that!

I took the class and the whole time I'm like "Wait, this ... is a CLASS? Are you kidding me right now?". I never even bought the textbook, took nearly 0 notes in class, took the tests and got perhaps the easiest A of my life. Obviously it's also possible I just absorbed the skill through earlier education which was pretty solid, but I kinda doubt it. I feel like it's largely innate, you're either inclined to do it, or you're not, and if you ARE inclined, you naturally grasp the proper process of doing it. Now, one can learn how to do it better through lessons, but that doesn't mean you'll rigorously employ that learning at all times, without even thinking of it.

But I'm not attached to that hypothesis, should I be exposed to solid, peer-reviewed science suggesting otherwise I will readily adjust that supposition
