The ability to do so in general probably requires a super strong understanding. The ability to do so in specific limited cases probably doesn’t. For example, suppose I decide to think about strawberries all day every day. It seems reasonable to infer that, after some period of doing this, my values will end up somehow more strawberry-related than they used to be. That’s roughly analogous to what I’m suggesting in the section you quote.
