Do I detect a hint of irritation? ;-)

I have a question though. Are you able to use probability math in all your own decisions - even quick, casual ones? Are you able to "feel" the Bayesian answer?

I suppose what I'm groping towards here is: can native intuitions be replaced with equally fast, but accurate ones? It would seem a waste to have to run calculations in the slowest part of our brains.
