Or, since we have an intuitive hunch and we know about things like inflection points, we might go and investigate more carefully doing our best to find out how it works in the wild. Until then, I'll admit, it is much fun to "Gladwell" it over drinks, no?

More fun? Definitely, especially with someone who just used the phrase "to Gladwell it", which I love and really hope I remember to start using regularly to describe this kind of thing.

I suspect people are less likely to investigate things that make intuitive sense, due to confirmation bias.
