Intuition is not fact, not a truth, but it can lead to a truth. Albert Einstein used intuition to guide him in his choice of what he would study.
Great leaders have honoured their intuitive side. The reason it has not been given as much air time may be the "feminization" of intuition. In our patriarchal history, the madness and destruction of war, exploitation, poverty and injustice are portrayed as simply being "the way things are". But intuition might get us to look at these things more closely and question why or how things are the way they are.
Feelings of being right and therefore anyone who has a different view is an idiot, is a lazy response to the intuitive feeling that you have worth beyond and above what you own. You might be right but what is it you are right about? What is it you actually know? What did you think you knew but were wrong about?
The gap between intuition and fact requires us to do the investigating. The investigation is the involvement of your mind and body in the revelation of the universe.
