It's one interpretation. With some reservations, I like it, because
otherwise intuition seems to be a miraculous event that just
happens. I have a healthy respect for intuition, having benefited
when I've listened to it and hurt myself when I haven't, and I'd
hate to think that I was relying on miracles.
