It's a fascinating point that you have raised! Are our tongues trained to function optimally when we speak our mother tongue? Do local rules govern the word/sentence formation in a language and are they challenged in tongue twisters which is why people who are not exposed to those rules find it easier to say the TTs? Going back a step, do TTs fool us in the tongue, or in the brain?

Deep questions.
