And no, I don't think he used the same words you did.

I didn't say I described it first! :D
Granted, he might have said it in German.

We don't even have to know what we're looking for, as we solve that problem unconsciously and find results we ourselves think to be totally unbiased.

All that learned experience gives us an intuition also, but we don't question whether our intuition has learned good habits, or bad. As long as it feels "right" we accept it as truth. Keeping that disagreeing voice around, or even someone comfortable (like me) playing the devil's advocate, is vital. But in this world, people would rather be patted on the back for their bad habits.
