We're on the same page. 99% I tend to think that it's almost always BS. ...but I'm open to the idea that "can't" means "usually isn't", and that there are some things that human brains can't learn via words but only by practice.

I'll go a step further, and absolutely agree that one cannot experience "what it's like" without actually experiencing it. And that there are aspects of experience that are important and which cannot be conveyed. But people conflate this with being unable to "understand" it.
