Physics is slightly special in that it tries to optimise for mathematical simplicity rather than ease-of-conscious-thought. If we find a simpler or more predictive model for the electron, physicists will happily abandon the model we currently have, while nothing will destroy our brain's model of 'what I type is what is sent'. Conscious thought isn't even required for the process of physics, we only use it because it is the only thing we have to approximate the mathematical reasoning that physics does require.
