No. The experience may be very convincing, and have no scientific basis.

Yes, feeling. "feeling understanding" is an oxymoron. Understanding is

Positive experience is fun, and likely to be useful personally and in
one's social relations. I don't know if it is teachable.

for example:
Brains work best with mushrooms
We don't eat mushrooms
Our brains hardly work at all....
