Imagine that you are likely to make huge mistakes when trying to think rationally, but you usually get good results when you follow your instincts. Wouldn’t it make sense to ignore rational arguments and just follow your instincts? I suspect that many neurotypical people are like that.
It is not about applying some Platonic “logical-mathematical intelligence”. It is about your logical and mathematical skills. Maybe they suck. It is a fact about you, not about math per se. But it can be a true fact.
