Why can't reading about physics give someone full physical intuition?

Answer: Because text rarely captures live motion, timing, and bodily feedback

Because physics books contain too few worked examples and diagrams — Wrong. Worked examples and diagrams matter; they can make a rule easier to follow. But the obstacle is not simply a shortage of them, because even a richly illustrated text can omit live motion, timing, and feedback. Adding more examples would not by itself supply the bodily part of intuition.

Because text rarely captures live motion, timing, and bodily feedback ✓ — Correct! Physical intuition comes partly from seeing how motion unfolds, timing events, and feeling feedback as you act. Prose can describe results and rules, but it rarely supplies those live sensorimotor signals. That gap is why reading alone leaves some physical sense underdeveloped.

Because readers cannot question the author while reading a text — Wrong. Being able to ask questions adds useful feedback and can clarify a text. Yet reading is still mostly a one-way description, and an answer about the text is not the same as feeling motion, timing, or bodily feedback. The limitation lies in the medium, not only in the reader's chance to interrogate the author.
