Our ingrained habits are a crucial structure of how we think. After a lifetime of fine-tuning in which they have worked ever better, nobody ever wants to change them wholesale. It just doesn't make sense in terms of effort and unsure gain.

But other people who start out later will develop other physico-mental automatic reactions that they will fine tune. Lots of great writers could never get thoughts flowing properly on a wordprocessor.
