Superstition and intuition are different things. I'm not claiming great intuitive powers but I am able to perceive when there is such a significant problem based on all the available research.


I don't know the difference between superstition and intuition. They both put emotion, perception or what feels "true" ahead of facts.

The question is what happens when the facts contradict your beliefs. In science, you change your beliefs. With intuition you just change the facts.
