Some people, at least, have better intuition than their rational thinking is.
Even some irrational guesses are later proved correct.
An unavoidable fact, until the rational thinking is not perfect. What may be never.
I think that by "rational thinking" you mean "deliberative attempt at rational thinking". I consider it a good human level rationalist strategy to train your intuition and learn when and what extent you can rely on it.
Perhaps a better way to say it is that some people are better at intuition than at reflection or computation.
