I tend to agree with this, basically because if one were to for example
specifically operate an night and get used to nightime noizes and sight
etc, then ones perception in that aspect should increase. Similarily if
one starts as a Noze in the perfume industry, of course extraordinary
sences matter, but ones perception in terms of smell would be trained up.

Then again, once can increase perception by increasing the
charactereistics it is derived from.
