You ever done this: Rapidly tap a key to move through a list (where you can't see the next item) or perform some other kind of function and tell yourself that when you hit the right item you'll stop tapping the key. Then, unless you go pretty slowly, you nearly always overshoot!
Well I figured out that this is due to the average human reaction time being 180ms and your finger can be told to tap faster than this by muscle memory (or something). So you can tap away at say 1 tap every 50ms, your brain sees the item and says STOP and your finger carries on for a couple of taps.
It's quite funny really.
