How very Lewis Carrollean of you. Except that Carroll's absurdities were always founded in logic and involved contradicting 'common sense', while this point is founded in common sense and contradicts logic.
It might be appropriate to act on such an intuition, and it is always appropriate to acknowledge its existence, but to 'stand by it' implies a claim to justification for the assertion, and that is clearly ruled out.
You wouldn't agree that it is sometimes (usually, even!) a bad idea to throw out all rules in a system that you don't see a use for, especially when you cannot claim to understand the system as a whole?
