   Funny story on "muscle memory" that happened yesterday when I was backing   
   up my Android to Windows without touching the sensitive USB connection.

   Since I couldn't "move" the phone, at one point I had to type the commands   
   to back up PulseSMS/MMS from Android to Windows over the Wi-Fi with adb.   
      
   It literally needed a momentary USB connection to issue a single command.   
      
   Since I couldn't move the Android phone while tethered to the USB for that   
   momentary USB connection, I had to use the keyboard sideways to type on.   
      
   Given I took typing on the old IBM Selectrics in the Vietnam War days, I'm   
   a fiend at typing, but for the life of me, I couldn't easily find the keys.   
      
   Why?   
   Because my "muscle memory" only works when the keyboard is oriented right.   
      
   As you stated, muscle memory can fali when the circumstances change, where,   
   in this case, if you orient a keyboard slightly differently, it can fail.
