Good Article.
It brings up an interesting question about Intuition.
I agree with the Logic that the author uses.

I would like to agree with the article,
if it reached a final point of conclusion.

So, what does he deduce from his logic then ?

The artists that I have been around often cite 'intuition' as their methodology. There appears to be no embedded impetus to create something 'new' in the 'intuitive' method. What is required is doubt? Doubt occurs when someone sees an alternative. Doubt is not a function of intuition, it's a function of reasoning. In the realms of art? creating alternative perspectives to the 'fixed perspective' ? require us to doubt the current perspective.

Great piece ! While I think Kahneman and Tversky have made tremendously valuable contributions to the understanding of psychology, particularly re. how we're inherently bad at probability estimation, their deification (perhaps warranted in areas like economics) seems to have led to a bit of overreach in their followers, in ways so aptly pointed here. I loved the breakfast example re. why context matters in ways that Kahneman and Tversky don't account for, and will happily counter with that when people confidently cite the bank teller example re. where psychological tendencies typically lead people astray.
