The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Who really killed ... BG spoilers!!!!
Arjan:
To show you there is a creature generally called a fish but is not. Muscle memory is just like that. Nobody who uses the term and is seriously interested in it thinks it is literally in the muscles. It is just called that way.
It is a far too strict way of defining language. You will find a lot of wrong words
And the wings are called wings because they make you think of bird wings originally. It is association. Just like muscle memory.

--- Quote ---but despite my own limited training with guns I know this, and I mean I know it like a principle I've always adhered to any time I've held a gun. This is why I don't think it was merely lack of training. General breaking down of the psyche and ones beliefs and principles might have such an effect though, as the mind tries to realign itself under a new banner. Someone convinced him Harry and Murphy were monsters.. perhaps his mind was thrown into chaos and was trying to wrap itself around the new status quo?
I still remember a time when Rudy threatened Dresden if anything happened to Murphy... Him going on to point a gun in her face ready to blow her away is definitely a mental dissonance. Something happened to change his mind, if not an actual psychic attack then the slow eroding of his mind from more mundane 'mind expansion'.

so basically your defense here is because other people use the wrong words we should continue to use the wrong words? " observation. Animals with inaccurate names are everywhere in the animal kingdom, the starfish and the jellyfish are also not fish. A killer whale is actually not a whale at all but related to the dolphin, and a koala bear is not at all a bear. The horny toad"
Remember how words are just vessels for ideas? Well these words conveyed the original idea and are inherently wrong. They are a name proper sure, but so this to an idea and your going to do nothing productive unless it's your intention to spread misinformation. If I said I had read a great paper on spaghetti physics it would accurately explain what I was looking at and falsely identity what I'm talking about.

nobody seriously interested in spaghetti mechanics call them that but casually claiming there exists anything of the sort is false.

I'm having trouble with my math just now... What do two wrongs equal again..?🤔

negative, they are called wings because they correctly identity how they are used in a concept. Muscle memory does not correctly identity anything. Muscle tendon changing is not the same as creating the synapse for the action though the two are often trained in a similar fashion.
But I digress, I'm just winging it here.. 😉

Because language and words are a convention. If a word is generally used for a concept then it is the right word unless you want to change the language. It can be done, usually by powerful pressure groups who want to change society, but you need a lot of pull for that and unless you succeed nobody will understand you.

Stop trying to change the definition of term "muscle memory" to "memory in muscles," please.
It's incorrect, and poor parsing of language. Inverting muscle memory can mean your interpretation, memory belonging to muscles, or memory of muscles- remembering the muscle sequence without need to think through the actions. The latter pretty clearly is the etymology.
