I believe that one of the reasons humans are programmed to play is so
that that we can gain experience in a safe environment, and then learn
from that experience.

Our current working definition of 'pragmatic' is

  Doing what works, and working at what to do.

Given that, I'd say play fits the bill perfectly.
