Even about people. You are fallible as well and your instincts may be wrong. I'm not talking about "getting a feeling of something is off and talk themselves out of it", but to trust your instincts enough to avoid the specific situation you're in, but then check up later if it was correct or not. So, yeah, of course get the fuck out if you don't feel safe at a parking lot, and you won't be able to verify that later most probably (since you won't know who the person is). But if someone you meet through your friend group gives you the same types of feelings you don't disregard them (EDIT: your feelings), but you check up on the person to see if your gut feelings were correct.
You don't need to get so upset because someone have a slightly more nuanced view on it. So I'm correct both when it comes to scientific matter, and everything else.
Don't worry, you didn't upset me, all good.
The reason for my comment was that I did not want people to get the wrong idea and put themselves in jeopardy needlessly. I felt it needed saying because it isn't uncommon for people to dismiss the gut feeling (call it instinct if you like) and come to harm as a result.
But yes, verification after the fact, if possible, is a good idea.
