Insight doesn’t act on the conceptual level, it acts on the perceptual level. It’s like noticing that you’ve got a rock in your shoe. Doing violence to the part of your brain that notices the rock in your shoe is just going to draw more attention to that area of neural activity.
Maybe another analogy would be something like learning to identify sounds and words in your native language. Once you learn that, everything you hear in your language will be automatically parsed into its components. Sure, there are conditions in which that might get disrupted or in which it doesn’t work perfectly (like mishearing an unfamiliar word), but overall, it’s not going to go away.
