They ARE valid, and can make life a lot better, safer, richer, and certainly more interesting....

You make a good point. Hunches are never pulled out of thin air; there's always a reason for them. The reason may be of no consequence; such as in when we get a feeling we should play a certain lottery number because on a subconscious level our minds registered three similar license plates we saw on the road that day, or it may have real world consequences; as when a facial tic we didn't notice on a conscious level alerted us to the fact that the salesman who was trying to rope us into an expensive contract was lying through his teeth about its real worth. The trick is not to ignore hunches, but to learn which ones are valid, and which ones are born of the indigestion you had the night before. It's an art, and I don't think there's a course to teach it.
That being said, when were you and kindlekitten living in caves?
