TBH I always thought that was a pretty dumb explanation for pain. Surely we feel severe pain because having your body getting torn up is going to feel bad as a consequence of having a sense of touch, not solely because it's some sort of brain message about how bad it is? This is why I think we can't feel our organs very well, and our brains not at all: because you don't use your pancreas to feel a rock.
