One last thought, on why I think I was so conflicted at the end of this experiment:

Exactly. And aren't their numerous studies that prove that muscle memory is a real thing. Isn't the "hot hand" nothing more than when a player's shooting technique becomes "locked-in" and his muscle memory gives him a higher probability of performing those same perfect mechanics again.

I've always had the impression that people who have set out to "disprove" the "hot hand" are creating confusion over what most people really mean when they casually say so-and-so has the hot hand.

It's nice of you to say I'm thoughtful and measured!
