I was rereading this thread, looking for something else, and happened to notice this by deli a good three months ago:

I sometimes do labeling with skills (whether life or technical) that I've just learned, haven't had much practice with yet, and am still trying to keep straight and learn to apply correctly.
With skills that I consider really "mine," I'm more likely to first do something and notice how it worked, and only afterwards ask myself whether it represented some skill that I already had a name for, or whether I invented it on the spot.
