"Intuitive" does not necessarily imply "true." Some of the most pernicious false ideas are ones that have an intuitive appeal (especially in an oversimple example scenario).

The Laffer curve likely falls into something like that category. If it has any truth to it, it's in conditions that don't actually exist (like an effective 90% tax rate).
