This is all really fascinating.
So Huggy is telling us that there's this thing that is beyond scientific understanding, but he understands it. He knows better than all the scientific minds in the world. It's really hard for me to get my head round this. It's as if he views science as some sort of primitive attempt to gain truth, and when that doesn't work, the big guns step in and use their feelings, incredulity and assertions instead. He doesn't seem to notice the immediate problem that everyone who does this can come up with any answer they like, and there's no way to tell who is right, if anyone.
(Either that or he's just parroting what some other guy said, as if that makes it true.)
This is part 8 of an excellent series, which I recommend watching all of, but this part is concerned with the kind of thinking Huggy is displaying here.
