    Not sure why the argument about the difference between skill and muscle memory is happening at all
    "Skill" and "muscle training" are two different things. It seems you're just another person who doesn't understand the terms used.
    "Skill" is experience related to WHAT RESPONSE TO USE.
    "Muscle training" is a MUSCULAR RESPONSE STRONGLY RELATED TO TRAINING.

    To quote the Merriam Webster Dictionary definition of the word "Skill" that you COMPLETELY IGNORED in that response:

    Definition 1B: Dexterity or coordination especially in the execution of LEARNED PHYSICAL TASKS

    Please learn to read and stop attacking people for your inability to read, thank you!
    Special for you, Merriam Webster Dictionary has a simple definition and even examples of using this term.

    You are overanalyzing the terminology here. If you get to the point were the stimulus "health bar low" connects to automated button presses for "heal" without consciously going through the pipeline of "remember/identify heal icon > derive key bind from UI > activate ability without erroneous input", that will already save monumental amounts of time. If you are lagging and your HP hasn't filled and you keep up your PvE parse rotation that is the consequence of training uninterrupted sequences. You can train bad habits, and video games are no exception to that. But if you have your stun break on the same spot across all games for years, your hands will learn to react to the stimulus "stun" almost without lag time or error.
    That is why it helps to keep basic operations constant and only re-train combo executions.

    Was this an attempt to justify using words whose meaning you don't understand? Because it seems you still don't understand the difference between a conscious process and the process of training.
    If you want to type a few letters on the keyboard, you simply press them. This is a conscious process that doesn't require any training (like using the "health button" when your health is low, or breaking a stun). But if you want to type with ten fingers, you need training, but this training is limited by the keyboard you're using. And any change related to the keyboard renders your training useless.

    Extremely rude. Contributed nothing.

    Just another term, which meaning you don't understand: rude - not polite; offensive or embarrassing.
    None of this applies to my comment

    I find your allegations - which very much appear intentionally provocative - to be highly impolite. Your contributions have not given me the impression that you are interested in giving constructive advice to the creator of this thread. You dissect the language in several responses with an arrogant attitude, where it is pretty obvious that these statements will stir the pot and not help with the topic.
    However poorly worded my contributions may have been, the message and intention were easily recognizable. I am only responding, because feel that I do not have to tolerate being lectured about the meaning of the word "rude" or the allegation that I wish to use words that are too big for me.

    M'kay, just going ignore anything you ever say now since, as Vaqual stated, you are being intentionally provocative. Also, I actually went to the site and used the Simple Definition, just for you!

    "the ability to do something that comes from training, experience, or practice"

    I have never seen someone of your ilk in the wild before. Please cleanse all future discussion of your assertions.
    May your crops be sun-blessed, sweet soul.
