my intuition got me into a lot of good things, and saved my life too, that being said, I'm not defending how some just have godawful intuition though.

ofcourse, I use reason and logic about why I feel about something in a certain way too, its just that my intuition is stronger, but not by very much. because hey - who dares wins, right?
