#1 A good piece, and NYT writer to watch for, that Benedict Carey.

Hunches are valuable in a lot of situations, not just battle. We tend to do 'analysis' in our verbal or literate brain, and as a serial operation, but at the same time our subconcious brain is essentially processing in parallel and evaluating a lot more data in a far less predictable fashion. Experience and thus training plays a big part. I think of it as analagous to 'muscle memory' which is vital to athletes and musicians.
