Who really killed ... BG spoilers!!!!

Telynn:
I've seen a few videos of NBA players doing a tech free throw (with no one around them) and after the shot they start to go do the customary hand slap, fist bump thing.  Only no one is there.  I guess another word of this is habit.  A really, really ingrained habit.

I think that is the perfect word..  A really, really, bad ingrained habit that was going to get someone killed someday.  It finally did, it killed Murphy.

I am sure Rudolph has not shot things by accident many times, or he wouldn't be a) a policeman b) so smug in general. But I agree he probably is not that good with the gun, he is not an expert.

no, and part of that I think is him getting picked up by whatever agency or hidden backers he's been working for. It moved him up the chain of command without him spending as much time on the beat. Dry training starts to lose its value if it's never but into action to reinforce it in your mind. Murphy never would have that issue, because she shot things early and often in her career. If you don't understand the value of your training it tends not to stick as well when your put under pressure.

I'm also pretty sure BrainFireBob meant to link https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/muscle%20memory.

Mmm I wouldn't know because people keep using the information at their fingertips but not using their own understanding to explain 🤷‍♂️ information, knowledge and understanding, three totally different things yes?I just think the term promotes a false understanding is all.

BrainFireBob:
Most people are hostile to just explanations.

You considered that the term could be misconstrued to imply something incorrect. However, for someone to make that assumption they'd have to be either ESL or extremely uneducated. Disputing as you did implied you thought that about other forum members. This engenders irritation and negative pushback, which you encountered.

The term is defined independently of its components. A basketball court does not imply a throne room filled with hollow ball-shaped baskets. The terms have other meanings.

The_Sibelis:
Oh what a clever way to insult me and yet offer know explanation for what it means to you at the same time. I've encountered people misconstruing that particular turn of phrase for years now. And I did point out what rudy did had nothing to do with muscle memory now didn't I?
