They believe that if the feel is the same as last week that the movement will be the same and therefore they should be able to get the same great result that they got last week from that certain feel.
What one must realize is that while what one perceives visually can appear the same over and over with repeatable results, what one perceives by feel is constantly changing by it's very nature and this is crucial using feel properly to integrate your movement.

I have often wondered why a "feeling" that works one day absolutely fails the next day. Your explanation of this phenomenon is very helpful. Great post!
