Thank you for pointing this out! 馃檶 I agree that the basketball analogy leaves out an important part of the process. The real challenge is credit assignment: figuring out how much each weight, especially in the earlier layers, contributed to the final error. I really like how you connected this to the chain rule and vanishing gradients. Thinking about it this way makes those concepts easier to understand and creates a natural link to the topics that follow. Thanks for adding this valuable insight to the discussion!
