We don't understand the slightest thing about feeling-space, and since feelings are all we have, the question of the nature truth-feelings is open. Rationality starts by assuming truth feelings are a different mental class. I'm just skeptical, that's all.

Truth feelings == perceptual coherence to a pattern is also problematic, as it seems likely that, through manipulation of the brain, we could induce such feelings about anything at all. Evolution would have every reason to deceive us accordingly about our own minds.
