Love the suffering joke! I do think that most physics benefits from the empirical nature of being able to test ideas. Statistics is tough because you can't really empirically test a lot of distributions. And then a ton of us (again, myself included) have a hard time seeing the subtle differences introduced with some framings. The Monty Hall one is hilarious for just how upset so many people get on being wrong on it. Note that I think with modern computers, you can start to test more distributions in simulations than you could dream of in the past. Has some of its own problems, of course, and it is a shame that we lose a lot of symbolic manipulation in the process. So, I still largely think it is getting people past their experiences. I think that is ultimately compatible with your point. I think I'm just calling into question how rosy the rest of the landscape isn't, in the learning environment.
