It’s not “things people have learned to expect”, it’s “things people apprehend without having to think consciously”. Which is what “intuitive” means.
I believe many people make a distinction between unconscious apprehension as perception ("intuition") and unconscious apprehension as memory ("training", "custom", or "habit"). Practically that may be a distinction without a difference, but that's a different argument. This distinction is made, even if you wouldn't.
It doesn’t matter whether that intuition is pre-wired instinct or conditioning or intellectual learning or some neurotic mistake.
I think "pre-wired instinct" is indeed different, though. That will evolve on a different time scale from conditioning, etc (at least, the millennials who made "OK, Boomer" trend think so!) You also omit the mystical "direct grasping" of Zen, which supposes that intuition is an emergent phenomenon of conscious mind. (I don't claim such "direct grasping" exists, or that anyone in this thread does, but there are definitely people who do.) Steve
