It's OK to have a favorite hat.
Because you still think that the physical sensation of certainty is anything other than a physical sensation - one that evolution took billions of years to create precisely for the purpose of fooling you into surviving and reproducing.

Your brain doesn't work for you, it works for your genome. And it created you for one purpose: to help this organism's genes replicate.
-
As it turns out, you're more effective at helping your genome replicate when you believe that you're running the show and don't ask any questions. So that's what evolution got you to do.
-
When you clearly see what your sensations are actually like - sans your interpretations of them - it become obvious that you've been played for a fool.
-
And when you see your sensations clearly and then immediately interpret them as the Ultimate Truth or One Mind or Non-Dual Light, then you've lost the plot.
-
You want to get good at seeing sensations as clearly as possible as often as possible - and eventually at trying on different hats, without forgetting that the comfortable sensation of wearing the hat isn't the same as the story you tell about how comfy/great/true the hat is.
