I think it is quite possible that with enough use some patterns will supplant older ones iff they are used often enough and they reward the brain.

The example given for instance, I automatically
went rand() vs rand() + rand ()
specific case would be
1d6 vs 2d6
1/6th for each point vs bell curve.

I suspect having played D&D since age ten (I can remember my first Bell Curve in AD&D DMs guide), programmed Excel to calculate odds for Warhammer (Mathshammer) and my second computer program at age 14 was Craps (2 dice)... that my guy feeling is somewhat different.

What I can't be certain of is that it started out with this understanding or it's been seeped into my mind from a young age.
