I disagree with your statement, or else many things
wouldn't be referred to as being "like riding a bicycle --
once you've done it, you never forget".
Why else would I be able to remember the exact coding
protocols for programming languages that I haven't used in
two decades?
Additionally, I thought disused synapse pathways were
generally retained unless there is an impetus specifically
to destroy them (or an outside force, such as
bioplaque-related deterioration or radiation damage).
Just an observation or two...
