Hmm. It almost sounds like you have a physical reaction to confusion - a biological 'noticing you are confused'. That is, well, cool.
No, confusion is different., though the distinction is interesting.
I think confusion may have a mouth-based component, a little bit of "what is that flavor?". I'll have to check more carefully the next time I'm confused.
While we're vaguely on the subject, I'll note that I'm much better at noticing when I'm surprised than when I'm confused, and that I'm much more strongly motivated to update when I'm surprised.
With bad arguments of the magnitude of that Sturgeon reference, I'm sure it's outrageous.
I'm not sure whether I have more physical sensations than most people, or just that I pay more attention to them.
