In essence, yes; but the intended effect is more psychological.
A thing I have noticed about myself, is that once the intuitive “aha!” circuit activates, I simply cannot continue paying attention to details. My brain wants to gloss over any remaining information, saying “yeah yeah I GET it already!”
Jumping straight into the action satisfies my intuition’s need for novelty and immediate feedback.
Moreso, when it turns out my intuition was wrong, I feel genuine surprise—which snaps me back into a state where I’m ready to pay attention to details again!
So for me, it’s less about “doing science” as it is about providing my brain with the right “flow” to keep me motivated towards the goal of actually understanding a phenomenon.
A nice scientific approach!
