Relative to context, very true. In fact, relative to context, all Aikido techniques require a "passive" uke. It's your job, as an Aikidoka, to train at them so much that they become muscle-memory so that an "uncooperative" uke becomes cooperative without realizing that he/she is now cooperative without even realizing.
I think it's more to do with getting the structural and anatomical juxtapositions correct more than progamming "muscle-memory". If you're training incorrectly, you're imprinting an incorrect "muscle-memory" anyway.
