They mean to distinguish intuition, which draws on experience and can only be reflected on, from experience, which deals in actionable heuristics. Any appeal to intuition you make will fall on experiential advice when pressed. Intuition _works_ here, but if you mean to share your wisdom, you must translate it through experience, which is the actual concept we communicate through.

Essentially yes, thanks. I was focused on the difference between “I used my intuition (which you cannot be taught because I cannot explain it)” and “I can explain how you can develop a skill”.
