It's not muscle memory or collective psychedelic drug consciousness or whatever it was you said...
Or actually it is, it just isn't the way you think.
You are used to reaching out with your fingers and pulling back to stop, regardless of what bars you're using the hand action remains the same, you're just grabbing for the brakes then instantly thinking "oh yeah, drops..." then moving to the tops.
You'll probably hit the back of a taxi sooner or later, then actually buy some brake levers where your hands go.
