Heh, maybe so. But what I do is everytime I add a feature to my conlang, I
try to internalize it myself as if I were a native speaker. That helps a
lot since you start to "think in the language" and can get an intuition of
how things ought to be in the language.

Hmm, might be interesting how this relates to the Whorf-Sapir
hypothesis... (deliberate obConLang flood-bait) :-P
