>Because the brain has to continually monitor hundreds of inputs like gravity

Human brains cannot monitor gravity. We're actually very bad at it.

Also you're failing to understand the scaling involved here, so to speak. I'm actually really not interested in trying to explain this if you can't be bothered with spending a few minutes on how nervous systems work.

They're obviously referring to the vestibular system. If that system is bad, that only makes the brain's job harder, not easier.
