While I think I can see where you're coming from, I will say as a personal anecdote that at this point I do feel that I can intuitively reason about the data at play quite easily, and no longer ever find myself running into any confusion about which method will be called (I don't think I've even had to check my intuition on this point with `@which` in over a year) -- but it did take me about two solid years of using Julia for a serious part of my time to get here.

It is, in my view, a fundamentally different programming paradigm that most of us have no previous built-up intuition for (unless perhaps you have spent lot of time with languages like Dylan or perhaps CLOS). But it is something you can learn and develop intuition for like anything else.

For those still learning, I may also mention `@edit`, which will not just show you the method, but take you directly to the source code of the method being called -- which is something that remains quite useful even when your intuition is fully-developed.
