I'm not exactly fanboying him here; every player uses their general intelligence. In Starcraft 2, Flash is actually famous for trying to use the same builds and responses too often, and he loses a lot of games because of it. For example, he lost one game because he uses the same reaper scout pattern and someone predicted how to dodge it. He lost another because his timing for stim finishing is predictable.

I think you might be right about Broodwar, and my experience with the games is the opposite of yours, so I had forgotten that such builds could work in that game.

I am glad that you have had that experience you mention, because it's not one everyone has had and I think it's quite valuable. I can definitely understand why so many martial arts have practiced sets of movements; when you repeat the same sets, the body records them into muscle memory and you can initiate the series of movements without having to incur any further conscious thought. The feeling of peace you can obtain from doing so is quite astonishing.
