        Always trust your gut when it's right. Otherwise, go with your head.

        @patrickc It's not so much bad as of highly variable utility. It works well for some problems.

        @patrickc trust your gut always wins with rose tinted retrospectives, easier then figuring out where exactly you went wrong
