<br><br>Lemashal, R Neubort [sp?] of Shmiras Shabbos Kehilchassa can probably "INTUIT" a p'sak or a new policy on Shabbos just by devoting his life to the subject w/o any specific research. His immersion has created the critical mass in his mind sufficient enough to bypass analytical thinking. Levadil it's like riding a bike once you master it or even more analgous to Mozart composing Music or to Picasso painting a canvas..
<br><br>Back to Torah: 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. <br><br>The ultimate master is perhaps a Navi that can over-ride any specific Halachah - in a hor'as sha'ah - so long as he does not cross boundaries into A"Z, etc. Perhaps no single message fro mHKBH is required. Remember Moshe was mosif yom echad mida'ato?! A chutzpa for the average person perhaps but OK for Moshe to have "intuited"!
