#1 Yes. That would certainly explain wing shooters (birds / clays) and football circus catches. This story reminds me of the one about how daylight savings time confuses animals.

#3 True most of the time, but most definitely NOT all the time. I believe strongly in intuition, but your beliefs on this will vary.

#4 Intuition — which is very real — skips the seeing/observation step. But often it’s based on experience seeing the same thing multiple times in the past, so the brain and hand together act in anticipation of the message still on the way up the nerves from the eye.

#5 often it’s based on experience seeing the same thing multiple times in the past,

Fellow I was playing baseball catch with [for those too young to remember baseball or catch, sorry] proposed we were doing realtime processing of partial differential equations (arc of the thrown curve) and solving boundary value problems (positioning the glove axis within 6 degrees for reception). That never left me and I always considered Intuition as a process of extending the curve without regards to boundaries.
