I think part of the image processing is done subconsciously and so we can pick up the minute differences in image quality by feel, even when we can't say what exactly is different.

That makes sense. Our subconscious is better at picking up the small details than our conscious mind, because it takes more effort for us to think about it. That's why they say "go with your gut" because our brains calculate things subconsciously. It's why we can do things without thinking about it.
