Sure. Because it makes sense that something completely alien will understand all aspects of human biology/psychology as well as any human, when all through the episode it was demonstrating clearly that it didn't undertand many things Tilly did.

Yes. It could be argued that the parasite did not/could not get enough information from Tilly to understand everything about humans.

It seemed to understand human emotions and emotional manipulation pretty well.
 
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only evidence we have is seeing a Klingon with two urine streams. That doesn’t necessarily mean two penises.

This goes all the way back to TNG Ethics.

RUSSELL: Overdesigned. Klingon anatomy. Twenty three ribs, two livers, eight-chambered heart, double-lined neural pia mater. I've never seen so many unnecessary redundancies in one body.
CRUSHER: Unnecessary? The Klingons refer to it as the brak'lul. Almost every vital function in their bodies has a built-in redundancy in case any primary organ or system fails.
RUSSELL: It's a good design in theory, but in practice, all the extra organs means just that much more can go wrong. Let me show you something. I've been experimenting with DNA based generators. This is a genetronic replicator. It reads the DNA coding of damaged organs, translates that into a specific set of replicant instructions and then begins to grow a replacement.

Unless it goes back even father?
 
"Hey, suppose instead of bonking the bad guy on the head, Spock uses some kinda Vulcan nerve pinch thingie?"

"Yeah, that could work. How about we give him a hitherto-unmentioned inner eyelid as well?"

"I don't know. We already gave him hitherto-unmentioned telepathic powers AND a hitherto-unmentioned mating drive. You don't think suddenly introducing extra eyelids is pushing it?"

"Nah, let's go for it." :)
Don't forget the Cloud Creature from TOS - "Obsession" that draws iron from Human Blood to live; yet since Spock's blood is Copper based he per McCoy - "Left a 'bad taste' in the creature's mouth..." too.

Or in TOS - "A Private Little War" (again per McCoy): "He's lucky his heart is where his Liver should be, or he'd be dead..." ;)
 
Just thought of something:

How could the spore parasite know about the real May, but not about what tears are?

If the parasite knows about May at all, it must have been able to access Tilly's brain in some manner. So why can it read Tilly's memories of one thing but not another?
For the same reason it confused "Stamets" as the Captain of the Discovery. It may not be able to 'read' Tilly's mind comp[letely, just pick up thoughts here and there.
