Hi Bruna,

Those who justify gut decisions will point to data from Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" and similar work on the adaptive unconscious as evidence such decision making actually works. This ignores the fact, of course, that such decisions do not come so much from instinct as from experience and knowledge gained over time.
