Ah yes. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-brain_interpreter for more about this.
As one neurologist put it, listening to people's explanations of how they think is entertaining, but not very informative. Virtually none of what people describe correlates in any way to what we actually know about how the brain is organized.
We're doing the equivalent of LLM's and making up a plausible explanation for how we came to a conclusion, not reflecting reality.
