Oh yes I agree that feelings and intuition can be inaccurate. But it's like a skill, or using a muscle. If you know how to use it, it can be extremely accurate. If you don't, it isn't. Unfortunately, when it isn't, the side effect is that one gets the wrong impression and assumes that feelings and intuition have no use. I'm not that good at football, but that says more about my level of ability than it does about the game. It may seem to you that I don't care about the truth, but in actual fact to know the truth requires using a balanced combination of "what you see is what you get" & feelings / intuition. Some call that the whole-brain approach, call it what you will. Everything you're describing about feelings is what happens when someone is not in control of them. The trouble is, you're ascribing that to all cases, when in fact that's not the case.
