That 'lacking the fear gene' is important. I have video somewhere of Leh Keen on a test day maybe 6 years ago. He spun/offtracked several times. Each time the crew radio message was 'its OK, you did the right thing trying that, keep it up" etc.
They were preserving the special state of mind that young guys have because that's what drives them to push the limits. As they gain age and experience they get better at avoiding the shunts, but preserve the quickness they learned between shunts.
