Illusory intuitions: Challenging the claim of non-exclusivity

Behav Brain Sci. 2023 Jul 18:46:e125. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X22003168.

Abstract

A person who arrives at correct solutions via false premises is right and wrong simultaneously. Similarly, a person who generates "logical intuitions" through superficial heuristics can likewise be right and wrong at the same time. However, heuristics aren't guaranteed to deliver the logical solution, so the claim that system 1 can routinely produce the alleged system 2 response is unfounded.
