Re: 1 and 2, if you've got subjectively strong (but actually harmful) intuitions in one area, then the link allows contagion. Intuitions should be used to generate experiments, not structures.
I'm not sure how intuitions about morality and epistemology can be used to generate experiments. Do you have any suggestions or examples?
But anyway, perhaps I should have used the word "belief" rather than "intuition".
