I didn't say anything about conscious thought, and I don't see any reason for you to either.
What I was getting at was that when the expert swordsman performs a no-deceptive, random-target-location attack they're performing the
same attack as when the novice does (so long as neither of them fails, or crits, of course). Not a better version. They can perform a better version if they want to, and unlike the novice they probably do want to.
EDIT: The expert might be exerting less conscious thought to for the same attack, which might be part of why they're (much) less likely to fail at it. Maybe. 'conscious effort' isn't really a core consideration.
