It’s like multiplication tables for thought. Using the “what to wear” example, you’ve essentially already just memorized what to wear for every occasion so you rarely need to think about it. Eg you know what is work appropriate, and if it’s raining or snowing or hot you’re still fine. But a wedding for a foreign culture you’re not familiar with in a city with weather you’re not familiar with, and you might not immediately know what to wear, so you have to break it down.
