Mathematians (such as myself) don’t look down on intuition. It is the only way to construct a map through a complex proof. However what you may have picked up on is we disstain people who insist they have a brilliant idea for which someone should prove they are right. That’s like saying a car engine consists of cyclinders and piston; someone else just needs to do the work to put the pieces together.
