Learning to become the best and being the best is a different task. If you know how to drive a car, you do not think about what you are doing, you just drive. When you start learning about driving, you are 100% focused not to crash the car, to follow the rules etc.
Grandmasters are at their peak. To learn to master chess we need to study players who improve their skill. And that happens after reading books, aktive puzzle training, opening training, etc. That it is stored in a magical way in our brains for efficient use later, is nothing new.

Yeah but you have to learn to drive the car yourself. Reading a book how others drive is only a small part of the equation.

Woah @RichardRahl !!!! 90 questions !!!!!! Now I really feel that I should just stick to the simple checks,catures and threats.Also I guess prophylactic thinking sums up most of your points.
I'd rather lose one and win one game by playing on prep, intuition and simple prophylaxis than lose two games on time.
