Okay glad to see you are back syllo since there is no point in talking to everyone else if I can't convince you. My reads are indeed gut based, and from that I mean exactly what you say (wording/tone). Something feels off or unatural, and that's certainly not easily explainable. And for what it's worth yes, of course it's based on reason, but I rarely bother to explain it in detail.
I posted the "clarity smells funny" thing right I read something he said that felt off for me.
