The difference between intuition and intellect is speed. I don't accept the definition of intuition as somehow being able to channel uninterpreted information. This is a seductive and absolutely unproven hypothesis parallel to Jung's concept of connecting with the collective unconscious.

Such ideas as people intuiting a lie or the path through a maze are commonly found in this category. Molly is referring to the pseudo-sciences of parapsychology. People such as Bernstein try not to use the prior and discredited definitions due to the obvious lack of any evidence that they represent anything real and are constantly and wrongly applying improper terms in it's stead.
