Many thousands of years ago... ancient Indians, both Vedantic and Buddhist, told us that being in touch with our selves, including our emotional selves, would enable us to change not only ourselves, but also the world. They operated not 'mystically', but experimentally and rationally, to come to this insight, though they also opened themselves up to feel themselves and the world around them, thus enabling their intellectual insights to come to fruition... Other people in other times and places have come to the same conclusions by similar means...
Today, quantum physicists are reluctantly telling us the same thing.
So I'd say Feeling is not only all-too-human (which should recommend it most highly), but also all-too-important to be dismissed as lightly as some are wont to do... <ahem, Bluewing>

One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

What's hard for me to get is the idea of using T to override F.
What if you would be happier with the decision chosen by strong F, yet you override it because you think it's "illogical". Wouldnt the end result of what makes you feel the best be the better choice?

All people want to live a happy life and making decisions that look out for your feelings make the most sense to me, instead of trying to talk yourself out of feeling based decisions.
you feel a certain way for a reason

It seems pretty obvious that most people pursue happiness. We just don't all have the same things that make us happy and we have different ways of going about it. Making decisions based only on the emotions of the moment is almost always a bad idea for long-term happiness. There are a lot of factors that go into making a good decision. How one is feeling right now is only one of those factors and, IMO, not a very big one.
