It sounds like you are describing intuition. I think there are occasional savants born with this, but for the majority of experts that subconscious decision mechanism is honed after years and years of work.

Often it's the other way around. The solution is found, and it is justified with a rationale. But the rationale came later, it is built with knowledge of critical theory and analysis of solutions.
The trouble is you can't teach the intuition.
