Actually the mind is understood pretty well by people who study how and why it works the way it does rather than starting with the premise that it is beyond our understanding. In fact, that premise is a really good pivot point for all sorts of ignorance. As is, of course, the postulation of knowledge in advance to the study that shall reveal it.
So yea, I pretty much disagree that this sort of wise men's statements are wise statements.. for reasons as simple as their detrimental implications to any field of study related to their contents and, of course, that our fair Jedi code instructs us to seek knowledge which is demonstrated to only be obtainable once premises like that it isn't are dismissed.
Better to leave questions unanswered than answers unquestioned
