Exactly. This trope gets repeated all the time about "listen to your inner voice" or "gut feelings" and we hardly ever talk about the alternatives. My gut tells me all kinds of things, sometimes contradictory things depending on the time of day. And its all but impossible to discern the difference between what my "gut" is telling me vs what the little voice in my head is telling me, which may very well be at odds. Plus all this is corrupted by "dopamine chasing" behaviors, or the equivalent. Add on top of that people for whom their gut instincts may have led them into pain in the past. It's not simple at all.
