Shooting a basketball is a skill. Throwing a javelin is much less so.

Which shows us that you also know nothing about throwing the javelin. Have you ever tried to throw one?

Actually, I'm saying "athletic" is more specific than "physicial". But, again, "non-athletic" is not a pejorative in my usage.

What you're saying doesn't seem to have any counterpart in reality. Perhaps you'd like to tell us what you mean by "athletic."

Yep. Didn't take too long to do it skillfully and demonstrate that I had maxed the limits of my physical ability.

John Kruk and Minnesota Fats are not athletes. Whatever excludes them is a proper definition for athlete. Sheesh.
