Intuition is going away anytime soon. The data that one can collect today cannot compete head to head with the intuition and rich mental models of someone who deeply understands some domain and how that domain connects to other aspects of the human experience. It's no contest.

Data should be used as a powerful supplement, assumptions should be validated, and due diligence must be carried out.

But if there isn't a vision behind the project, it will be likely be mediocre at best.
