Speaking generally, I think one's intuition continues to be under-valued.
If you are a reasonably aware and informed person with regard to the matter at hand (and additionally, shouldn't your own well-being be a principal "matter at hand"?), it is yourself cluing in, ahead of constructing a fully-conscious analysis and argument.
The times my intuition has really -- in the gut -- pushed me, it's been right. Often, later -- days, week, or longer -- I find myself placing that gut feeling into context and events in a way that totally makes sense.
Some might argue I'm just rationalizing it. Seemed much too immediate -- and then crystal-clear, in hindsight.
