Intuition...

I read a phrase this morning that I thought intersting.
It was by writer Steven Berlin Johnson, and he said: "...it lets me see something statistically that I've thought a great deal about intuitively as a writer".
Isn't that a paradox? If you've thought a great deal about something, it isn't intuitive? Or conversely, if it's intuitive, a great deal of thought isn't appplicable?
Anyway, it's an interesting essay: about how writers have typical word and sentences lengths with which they are comfortable. Interesting thought. I'm not sure I'm comfortable thinking about my own ratios. Makes me too self-conscious.
