So when you talk about comfort in the physical realm, textures, etc., that sounds like "aesthetics", pleasantness, etc. Not really anything to do with strength, willpower, etc. I think you're referring to Si as opposed to Se.
In all honesty, though, I think the argument that EIEs are 'stimulated' by what you refer to as 'external properties' is a bit ridiculous.
