Yep.  And I think most people are susceptible to it - heck, I know it's 
the reason I haven't picked up my violin in several years (well, that and 
I need about $400 of work done on it) - I'd have to work to get the 
skills back and wouldn't be able to play the stuff I was playing when I 
stopped.  Doing scales is no fun, but it would be a necessary part of 
starting up again.
