Same with my muscle memory.  I don't know whether defeating that muscle 
memory enough times would teach Quicksilver to adjust the action rankings.  
But it worked for me to go into Preferences (General)> Actions> All Actions 
and drag Calculate below Open/Reveal.

Side note: Initially I thought that one of the "Run" actions must be what 
launched an app, but reading the descriptions revealed that was incorrect.
