Do Dal's comments about how his family all seem to be in some sort of cult and just blindly following this 'Force' thing kind of make sense in a weird way?

I'm torn on this, because I'm not sure if we're meant to think that Dal was force-sensitive and deliberately and consciously suppressed it, or if he had no real talent for the force and that his family refused to see that and insisted on him going through Je'ddai training anyway...
