True.

Do this: Grab a ball in one hand. Throw it up in the air and catch it. Now: Did you catch it because you were smart enough? Did you silently say NOW! just before your fingers closed to catch it? No. You did not think about a single thing. Still you can do it 100 times without failing.

Change green speed, i.e. Change from a golf ball to a metal marble to a feather. You catch them all.

Try not even looking at the ball as you throw it. You will still be able to catch, at least most of the time.

Try "telling" your hand were it need to be to catch the ball and "telling" the fingers/hand when to close over it. You will not do better, but probably worse.

The brain does it for you. I'll look up the English word for the brain function that does this, but that will have to be AFTER my grandmothers 97th birthday. Gotta run.
