Your theory is correct in many cases (but clearly not all) as it depends of how the player practices. Many players play game after game, but don't study chess and don't look over their past games (usually shorter time controls but not always). In these cases, they are not really learning - they are just reinforcing bad habits and the same mistakes game after game. If this is what you describe (and they desire to improve), then certainly it does drain the mind. 

However, the "practice makes perfect" fits for chess too (although not "perfect" per se, but it will spark improvement). If you play some chess, study a bit and especially study your own games to see where you may improve upon your play, then no doubt - practice will make you a better player. 

It all depends on how efficient that "practice" is and additionally: different learning strategies work better for different chess players (like with most anything else).

If you play random moves, your improvement didn't start. Play 1st 10 moves according to opening principles preferably 1. e4 e5

Ur brain has a limited capacity. Filling some of it with games that u can't actually apply to ur own game, will in some way confuse u and make u worse, correct.

1.e4 e5, and then the madness begins. It's hard to play the first ten moves correctly when your opponent has a variety of moves to choose from. It's like getting the right numbers at the lottery.

It depends on how you practice, I used to think exactly the same as you did until I started to review my games, check with the engine to see my mistakes and inaccuracies and also most importantly LEARN from them. That's how you improve your chess.

If you want I can give you a lesson to demonstrate all the losing moves and blunders- I have mastered playing all of them in my games.
