[Avodah] Intuition - sources

In Avodah Digest V23#182, RRW wrote:
> I am doing  Sefer Mitavos hakatzar and the Rosh is quoted as eqauting
buying Sefraim on Shas and poskim to k'sivas Sefer Torah.  This kind of
intuition by a novice would probably have little to no value, but given the
mastery of Shas that the Rosh had, it carries a lot of weight even when he
does not muster specific citations to support his thesis.  It is like
Tevius Ayin, i.e. a function of experience and mastery. <
Would such a comparison apply nowadays, when printed s'farim are obtainable
by the masses?  If not, is the comparison affected more by the printing
press or by the relative [to writing a ST or having one written] ease of
obtaining s'farim?  Thanks.

All the best from
