More so than with other descriptors of internal mental state, I wonder which people saying “click” mean the same thing.
I feel quite satisfied when I change my mind as a result of a new insight, but also a little hesitant to consider the case closed until time passes—I feel apprehensive that another insight+reversal may follow in the consequent mental shifting. Is that a “click”?
Maybe, but it doesn’t really match my feelings when I get a click. This doesn’t mean you are I have better or worse clicks. It could just mean we react to them differently.
I think if there is a difference between your click and mine it is that my clicks tend to be reactions to things generally considered to be factual or true but something I have trouble understanding. Clicks tend not to be brand new discoveries but rather a full, complete understanding of someone else’s discovery. The easiest example is from mathematics. A complicated piece of linear algebra is True but I don’t fully Get It until it clicks.
