Also, we can't calibrate our intuitions, because wherever we have a non-intuition standard against which to calibrate our intuitions, we don't need to use intuition in the first place.

Why exactly can't we calibrate our intuition generator by using the non-intuition standards? We could then use our intuitions in other contexts, where there was no standard.
