Assuming the computationalist hypothesis in the cognitive science makes that tuning uncomputable, even "absolutely uncomputable".

Possible. Unless more info is provided it is perhaps good to keep in mind it could makes things (locally) worst too. It could even depend on the state of your mind, given the reversal ...
