I agree with you but I say we shouldn't depend on intuition - it too often is wrong.

It's not about drawing conclusion from intuition - you need to validate your hypothesis - but about following your intuition.

See Einstein: his findings started as hunches and creative exercises. Nobody though about light being a particle-wave, or combining space and time, because they were limited to preconceived notions ("it's either a particle or a wave", "time as conceived by Newton").

It's often necessary to start from intuition to get to new places.
