Intuition makes it difficult to expose lies.

Scientists conducted a series of experiments in which 1445 people took part. They had to guess whether the handwritten statements and videos about the student's activities on campus were true or false. Study participants who relied on intuition to detect lies, or who used multiple factors to make a decision, did no better than those who answered at random. However, those subjects who focused solely on the level of detail in the reports could distinguish truth from lies with an accuracy of up to 79%.
