It’s about levels of scale and abstraction. When you’re designing a car you don’t care about the innards of the calliper. Reducible complexity, and modelled inputs and outputs. If something seems wonky it gets looked at more closely - either the model or the concept is wrong.
I can’t draw for shit, but I can and do make complex devices and systems with no written plan, just a picture in my head.
Oh, and I’ve put on well over 5lb of muscle this month, by doing brutal hours of manual labour and eating like a horse. Being out of shape but historically stacked makes it a world easier.

"Group 3 (exercise, natural) was able to build about 4 pounds of muscle."

Maybe you did for one month, after a time of de-training, with all the ideal conditions.

I can hold whole systems in my mind, but I can't draw, as I've never learned. That doesn't mean that what I see in my mind is not real or inaccurate.
The latter is especially unlikely given that most people are limited to 5-7 "items" in their working memory. To design even a simple system, e.g. a brake caliper, that's way more than 7 items, and they aren't "atomic" items either.
Again, this isn't a stab at you, this is a stab at the concept, because it's kind of like people saying they can put on 5lb of muscle a month without roiding. Sets false expectations.
