Could you explain why you phrased it this way, as opposed to e.g. "I find this paper very unconvincing."?
This isn't a critique; I'm just trying to understand a recent drift in language, and if/how it corresponds to a difference in the underlying thinking.
In my upbringing, there's a strong delineation between "thinking" and "feeling". In that view, thinking is mostly about propositions, ideas, and logic; feeling is mostly about emotions.
My best guess is that "... feels ...", as used above, is meant to express a uncertainty about what follows.
