I've noticed the same attitude towards math instruction in college, but sometimes I can't help sympathizing with the professors. Usually when you teach a course you expect to learn something in the process, but that's simply not going to happen for a math researcher teaching Calc 1. It's a miserable situation if you don't enjoy teaching, and they're there to research, not to teach. No wonder many of them spend as little time on the class as possible and teach straight from the textbook. I think "instruction without intuition" is another way of saying "bad instruction".
