Laura brings up the interesting point about the role of intuition in
otherwise 'rational' minds.  The usual non-mystical answer which is given to
her question is that intuition is simply a faster-than-light burst of
sub-conscious rational thought.  Suddenly all the pieces of a problem fit
together when one has all the data and it's churned around in the noggin for
a while.
