If anything, a hot event would be more emotionally laden.
Yes, precisely and also subconscious. Many "decisions" never reach the conscious level yet influence our actions. As one gains more life experiences, I believe more and more of this experience is condensed in "feelings" that are not expressed as a logical conclusion that can be expressed as a series of logical statements leading to the conclusion rather a vague nagging "something doesn't feel right" or "this is the right thing to do".
