Indeed. Intuition, or in other words the "well, that's obvious" feeling, might be a good lazy approximation of the truth, but it is often wrong when examined closely.

Having witnessed the whiplash in scientific understanding I'd almost say that "it's more complicated than that" is a more accurate summation. Since often the approximation isn't totally wrong but it's more a simplification of the issue.
