I think we are "instinctively on to something" but not because it's useful or somehow increases our fitness. Humans and their runaway brain power make all kinds of systematic reasoning errors, for all kinds of interesting reasons. The "need" to find some explanation for why the world is such a crap sack is probably powered by the same mechanisms that drive us to look for creative solutions to problems in the first place.
