On: Why is Git Autocorrect too fast for Formula One drivers?

Basically, some people can consistently respond faster. The 100ms figure just isn't accurate.

I don't have extensive resources/references at hand, but I've read about this a few times over the years.

Yeah well, I did a psych bsc and I'm telling you that it's impossible.

It's certainly possible for people to do and notice things way faster than that, like a musician noticing a drummer being a few ms off beat, or speedrunners hitting frame perfect inputs, but in those cases the expectation and internal timekeeping is doing most of the heavy lifting.

It's rhythm vs reaction time. We can keep a much smaller time interval rhythm than we can react at.
