You are generalizing from one example. I’m not very good at visual thinking either, and while I haven’t seriously tried to learn go well I can imagine what Morendil describes. Some things that seem like they ought to be expressed in images instead come as some sort of vague feelings that convey the information content the images should, but without any discernible actual image attached. In some cases I manage actual visual thinking, and the images have a similar information content, but because there are actual images the information is much easier to analyse, reference to and reflect on. It’s not much like a string of words, only vaguely comparable to a stream like “move that there and then do that thing” with each reference being clear. Of course I don’t know whether Morendil’s experience is similar.
I suspect that you’re also overgeneralizing. In particular, you probably underestimating what it means to be good at getting information from feelings—they don’t have to be “vague”.
I don’t see how that could possibly be true when all I do is describe my own experience (mostly actual, partly imagined) as one example how things can be different than how Jesse seems to expect them to be in a way that matches the words Morendil uses.
