Tim, you hit it on the head!

There are parts of the brain that control the body and it's musculature. It 
is better to order a product and let your body work out the complexities of 
muscular movement rather than to control this muscle and that muscle. This 
frees the brain for other things, thinking of the music and ordering a 
product to come out the bell of your horn. It is a no win situation to try 
to order the body's musculature, that's where paralysis by analysis comes 
in.
