I'm always amazing by how many people like this are able to buy into their own bullshit. Not only is intuition important for coming up with scientific hypotheses, but it's essential for sound decision making. That is, when making good decisions you don't exactly what the science says, but rather you make the best guess you can based on the information available. And you use deductive logic to make sure that your ideas are logically consistent with what you already know to be true.
