I would agree, I find there are some that love to sort of just run around with a version of "I follow my instincts and thing turned out great, damn its good to be me!" That's why I encourage people to actually keep track of such things and treat it as a single data point. I would also say there is a difference between listening to your experience/confidence and listening to your ego. A lot of good things can go wrong because of Ego.
