Throw the fake "feelings" and "sympathies" out of court!

Britannica actually has a correct definition of "feeling."

Feeling | Psychology, Emotion & Cognitive Processes | Britannica

Feeling, in psychology, the perception of events within the body, closely related to emotion. The term feeling is a verbal noun denoting the action of the verb to feel, which derives etymologically from the Middle English verb felen, “to perceive by touch, by palpation.” It soon came to mean, more

To "feel" is to "know" or to "know carnally" in a very literal real sense.

To "have feelings" (or not!) is thus to "have carnal knowledge" (or not, as the case may be) while being very sly and deceptive in order to introduce such claims in court.

It is not quite logical or factual in the negative sense legally or grammatically sense either. "I know you not" or "I don't have any feelings for you" is a flat and unambiguous denial of all friendship, acquaintance and association, not merely of possible intimacy or biblical carnal knowledge as such.

That leaves a wide open space of "feeling" or "knowledge" which logically is neither to be affirmed nor denied. The law of excluded middle applies only to the facts and not to the feelings or knowledge or realization of them, and it is a common error in courts of common pleas to assume it.

We all go to school, come of age, and gain and earn knowledge, feeling and acquaintance of many things, not "carnally" as such, but arguably "in the flesh" as we live and breathe. There is "knowledge of the law" versus "ignorance of the law" and so forth.

False claims of human relationship or assumed intimacy require a much stronger and more forceful denial than other types of statements that are often made and presumed falsely in court without consequence to the liars and perjurers.
