Internalizing the correct ritualized movements lets you forget about them so you can focus on high-level strategy (winning fights/writing applications). Lego bricks are hard and consistent and unchanging, and you need them to build incredible novelties. BTW, my personal belief is that they are called "martial arts" because "art" is simply creating novelty within a system of constraints. Also, you are incorrect that all martial arts are concerned with inflicting damage--there are many arts and corresponding practitioners who encourage and value the mystical aura, because martial arts can be used as a vehicle for personal growth, discipline and spiritual nourishment. Please be careful about generalizing your experiences!
