It’s similar to how Todd R. Hargrove is someone who gathered the knowledge he has primarily through feedback loops involves movement and is therefore more trustworthy when he says “I you do these movements, that happens” then when he speculates about what the involved neurons are doing.
Are you skeptical of the central nervous system sensitization pain mechanism?
My general prior is to be skeptical of most neuro-based explanations for phenomena outside of neuroscience. Hypothesis might be true, but it’s very hard to check whether they are true. I generally prefer knowledge that’s backed by empirics over knowledge that rests on assumptions about understanding of how a black box works internally.
