> But a sufficiently skilled communicator can absolutely articulate many of the factors being evaluated when they judge a situation and how their descision-making process works

That sounds right but I suspect it is wrong. Watching smart intuition has been a personal interest of mine for years. Few people avoid the manifold traps.

1: people hallucinate their reasoning or are self-deceptive (or even intentionally deceptive). Watching AI has helped hone watching people.

2: you need to be sufficiently close in skills and language for someone to be able to communicate the nuances. E.g. sportspeople.

3: Judging whether an intuitive statement is true is hardhard. We need to identify a correct intuition (and ignore incorrect intuitions) before judging whether some explanation is valid.
