Would other Si users agree? How about those whose types don't have Si?
^ I like that, "eternal child". Yeah, my Si is about comfort. I think that's why my mindset becomes more Si-like when stressed. I'm all about what I know will feel good based on my past experience.
I also have a little bit of "this is different from before" detection that I think is Si.

Yeah it works as a "comfort zone," but that's still a limited way to view it. It has lots of other uses. It is also impeccable at internalizing information. I'll use music as an example: Ne would be likely to consider new and interesting forms of music or new ways to play an instrument (innovation), whereas Si would be more concerned with hitting the notes exactly right and playing in time (consistency). It notices and remembers details and can recall them at ease for future reference. I play in a tribute band, so memorization and accuracy is key, and I find that Si is a fantastic tool for achieving this goal. I hear intonation extremely well, I have a good sense of rhythm, and I remember the parts relatively easily.
I've noticed that it offers a fantastic supporting role in ESTJ music directors (of which there are many, trust me!). To the dominant Te user, Si offers a fantastic tool for listening to the group and internalizing details within a complex sound, and then using that for Te's problem solving and organization.

You should make more posts like this explaining the utility of Si. I feel like Si is a really poorly understood function in general by the forum community.
