   (Including one which, despite much popular literature, doesn't actually   
   contain any!) One can be _too_ specific. I used the phrase "muscle   
   memory" as it's widely understood - particularly in the context of using   
   old software; had I just said "memory", it would not have conveyed what   
   I meant.
