Wow...is it really worth my time to read all that? I'm intruiged, but its very long.
I'll admit that I could just have selective memory, but out of the times in which I've been "in the zone" and felt as if "just get me an open look and its going in" I swear that I shoot 80+% during that time, and I'm obviously nowhere close to that overall.

You don't have to read it if you don't want. Basically it says that being in the zone is a fallacy and offers pretty compelling evidence to back it up based on statistics. It is a similar situation to running hot or cold in poker.
Personally, I've experienced the same thing as you where I'm on fire but it seems to be that if you play enough basketball you're gonna have hot and cold shooting nights just based on variance. It isn't like you are trying any harder to make a shot at different times.
