Is there really no difference between visualizing something and actually doing it?

A weird thing happened today,

I was throwing a wad of paper into a trash can today and missed. I missed because I tried to visualize what it would look like going into the trash can instead of how it felt to throw something the size of the wad of paper the proper distance so it would land in the trash can.

I can't quite recall exactly learning to throw things accurately, but I think the visualization was more like seeing it fall or hit a target, where now it is about how it would feel, how much effort to exert.

Not really your question, but I think my answer is more of a sidetrack than a derail.

Kinesthetic visualization is more about how it feels to get results,
the results are what gets seen, it seems as there is nothing visual about the visualization.

I'm not sure that this is the best way to learn new things but it seems a handy shortcut for skills that you've already mastered.

I just thought it was odd that you make a statement that any sane, half-way rational person would agree with in a heartbeat, and then ask for thoughts about it. Your obvious statements certainly aren't going to cure any patients who might read it over in the insane asylum. You instigated me to post because I was wondering what the heck the point of the post was.

Wow then my evil plan succeeded

But seriously now, I already said, more than once, what was the reason in posting that. So, to use your words, what the heck is the reason you keep asking me that?
