Aren't they? Some people believe that this is the way God talks to them. For myself, I don't make wild guesses, I consider things carefully. But I have also learned to trust my instincts and listen to what my inner self is telling me
And do you suppose that you could act just on instinct before having given careful consideration over the years to learning subtle "rules of thumb" gained from experience?
Why not always act on gut instinct and never bother to hold any consideration at all.

Re: The irony is killing me

I'm going on vacation shortly and will be rather busy afterward, so I hesitate to begin a topic where I'll mostly have to drop out for a few weeks; I'd rather wait a little while. I also think I could do with some research into this subject myself so that my own views are more solid, and I have evidence at hand to back them.
I know of a website where you might like to go learn something concerning science and how it differs from other kinds of knowledge .
Check this site out and let me know what you think.

Can I ask what you got from it?
Certainly. The purpose of the website is to make you think about the things you take for granted and to show you how easy it is to be fooled by others and most especially how easy it is to be fooled by yourself.
I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
