How often will it happen that (a) a hitter comes up to the majors and hits well initially, (b) pitchers detect a weakness and exploit it, and (c) the hitter never adjusts to that first adjustment?

I don't know that that ever really happens, but something that looks like that happens sometimes to guys like Hurricane Hazel and Shane Spencer. I don't think it's very common, and I don't know that THAT exactly--what you said--has ever happened. Baseball is a game of refusing to make adjustments. The good hitters stick with what they do. Sometimes weaker hitters get intimidated into making inappropriate adjustments and get driven out of the league by that.

I dunno exactly HOW it relates, but it seems to one way or another :- )
