It's not always intuitive
Sometimes things are just not as they appear. Sometimes our intuition says that something must be so, but it just doesn't turn out as we expect. I was reminded about that recently in a story that a friend of mine told me. He and his wife are on a mission to get back in shape this year, and so have purchased all the accoutrement's necessary for exercising. One evening his wife was online and wanted to go to the website for Dicks Sporting Goods. Naturally her intuition told her that the web addy should, by all accounts, be www.dicks.com. Don't go to that address as it's not the URL for Dick's Sporting Goods. Rather than being greeted by a site full of listings for sporting goods, she was treated to a site displaying penises, nothing but penises and lots of them. Needless to say she was really embarrassed by what she saw and immediately went to another website. Clearly she wasn't looking for golf or badminton equipment, as I'm sure there were plenty of shafts and shuttlecocks ready for her perusal.
