It would explain a lot, if many of your ideas were in the intuition state. Like your conspiracy theories?

And that is its problem also, indeed as you said, confirm/debunk hunches.

Electricity and QM are quite well understood. It is the physical reality that poses us with complication theory can not really overcome. Things are build empirically. With pondering, one could think up principles of workings, but building it is another matter.
Ok, QM still has big interpretation problems, but so has Probability theory.
