I lived through NOT acting on my gut feelings, and ended up almost getting killed by a rogue car at the crossing near school...How would things have turned out if I had stayed home after lunch instead of going back to school for the afternoon? Who would have been injured or died if I hadn't ignored my gut and been there?

Oh, the no true real intuition fallacy, eh.

Postulate: intuition is a real facility but one that only manifests rarely. And let's use something like smoking-cancer as an analogy. There was no proof that smoking caused cancer for quite a while. There was first some who thought so, then there was a statistical correlation and finally the action of the constituents on lung tissue verified at the physical level.

Now I'm asserting that intuition can be thought of in a similar way. The next step would be for people to be part of a research study where they recorded what they thought of as intuition when they first felt it.

That process has started Intuition and Insight: Two Processes That Build on Each Other or Fundamentally Differ?

You're arguing that intuition is only real
when it turns out correct. It reminds me
of those who claim that all Christians are
good....the bad ones aren't real Christians.
