unfortunately, on practice the "intuition" too frequently is just a camouflage for "uneducated/uninformed guessing". Have you been to the "performance" meetings with customer's DBAs, developers/analysts, PMs, business function managers, integrator's PMs, engineers, vendor's PMs, developers/managers? A Niagara of "intuition" that one can drown in.
