There are plenty that would say this. Folks from the art side of the science. That never understood the science. I had PLENTY of people in my grad program that fit this sort of understanding. We have enough knowledge about different regions of the brain to make much more educated guesses than someone that solely writes a case study that ends up being a seminal work solely because they were able to guess about it in bigger words than others.

I'm not a neurologist, but a psychometrician (statistician based psychologist....errr...if I ever finish the damn PhD...I dropped out to go to med school in my last year...which I dropped out of as I realized that I was an idiot...which I should say up front: please note author is an idiot) so I can't get into everything I should be able to...but having worked closely with these folks, there is a LOT more than purely one region. You can calculate patterns and sequences, much like you can see that disgust...actually wrong emotion as it is a universal / basic emotion...it would be like 'happily surprised' or 'happily disgusted'...complex emotions. You can see the patterns where surprise is usually connected to something like fear in most complex emotions, where as, you can be surprised at a birthday and there is an elevated heart rate activating the sympathetic nervous system, while also counteracting with the parasympathetic with euphoria.

Computer models can tell the difference easily (thats where folks like me come into play...I love data), and based on the keys they give me, I can tell you what the factor at play are. If you are looking at a single variable, it is extremely difficult, when you start using things like factor analysis and multiple regressions and all that bullshit, you quickly realize why most people who aren't getting the whole picture take such a view point that they are right -- because they don't work in the science (or maybe they did at one point, but at this point the science they think they were dealing with was solved, hence they are solely witchdoctors shaking their burning sage at the client). When science moves on and you refuse to see it, you aren't really a part of the solution, just an uneducated detractor...the folks that claim that we don't know enough are the same kinds of people that claim that we don't know enough to truly understand global warming. Which is true. However, we know enough to know that the detractors are entirely wrong, where as our wrongness is only in a matter of degrees.
