How do people learn skills that are absolutely deadly when executed sub-perfectly and don’t seem to have a set of easier to learn sub-processes to connect later?

Question

You know how for example there are people who can stop their heart through willpower and then reboot it after a while? How did they ever learn to make it start beating again, seeing as it not beating seems like a prerequisite for it. Would be a shame if you couldn’t get it back to beating after the first time you successfully stopped, no?

Literally nobody can do this; anytime you hear that they’re “stopping their heart,” it’s a media company sensationalizing what they do in order to draw in viewership.

Granted, it’s possible to slow the heart and survive extremes through willpower, but it’s all trainable by gradually preparing the body for adverse conditions in advance of actually pulling off a given stunt.
