I've come to value the power of human intuition more and more over time, but there are three (off the top of my head - I know there are more) situations where our intuition completely breaks down. In these cases, I think the lens of math/science truly shines:
Statistics
Probability
Rotating Reference Frames
I put up a post sticking my toes into the water of the last case on my lab website.
