What do you think feelings are? How do they inform your decisions?

Ah the old attack on semantics approach. Poor wording, fair enough.

If I ask you "do you own a car?" You already know the answer to that. If I introduced a theory you've never heard of. There's no way you would already have a decision on that. Your opinion then has to formulate through thought.

If you truly feel that study shows anything of significance, you might not be someone I want any advice from whatsoever. Of course there was brain activity, they were about to move a body part to signify a decision. As far as brain activity during anything that isn't a yes or no question, there is plenty of brain activity. And while scientists can speculate all they want. I'd say it's pretty simple. If someone asks me what I think of something they did. I am gonna think. Should I be brutally honest, should I cater to their feelings, what? Of course there will be brain activity due to thought. I have no clue what you are trying to prove, but I'm pretty sure it got lost in the fact that you based it on an extremely basic study. Just because your feelings don't come from thought, doesn't mean everyone else functions the same way
