Agreed. Furthermore, it feels uniquely weird when a scenario comes up where these "external augmentations" don't behave correctly. I often experience this when putting my laptop in the center of my normal desk setup. I'll instinctively go to move my laptop's mouse cursor via my desk mouse, and suddenly it doesn't work. For a brief moment it feels paralyzing, as if my arm is dead or etc.

That sensation happened to me as well! It feels like your mouse is stuck on something, you move it but the cursor doesn’t respond, only few moment later you realize that it isn’t connected to the notebook.
