I've met many people in life that trust their gut. Without anything else, from what I've seen, people trusting their gut is a net negative. With that said, that's mostly because it's a bit of a cultural thing that trusting your intuition is a smart thing to do. However, there are enough people out there who's intuition will kill themselves, if they would only trust their intuition (e.g. drug addicts, not limited to only them though). There are also less dramatic examples that I've seen (women and men consistently finding the wrong partner). So on average, a net negative. Since you're a random person on Hacker News making some bold claims, yea I need something stronger than just your intuition.
