When formal and intuitive schemas produce conflicting assessments, investigate the disagreement rather than defaulting to either one, because the conflict signals either a pattern your formal criteria missed or a bias your intuition hasn't examined.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from Cognition Operates Through Dual Processing Systems (dual systems with different operational characteristics), Valid Intuition Requires Stable Regularities and Feedback (expert intuition validity conditions), Tacit Knowledge Exceeds Linguistic Expression (tacit knowledge exists), and Compiled Pattern Recognition Outpaces Rule-Following (pattern recognition vs sequential processing speed). The Kahneman-Klein collaboration grounds this: both systems have legitimate domains. The principle prescribes using disagreement as diagnostic signal rather than choosing one system over the other.
