I think Zen's argument is that scientists have been and do currently used intuition.
Where as most people who are not scientists specifically from the new age movement associate intuition with vague notions of fantasy that they have either seen in there mind or picked up from various mediums usually sci-fi tv shows and culture. Instead of evaluating what they have seen and dissecting the archetypes/symbols which are actually useful to self and others in experience they hold onto the fantasy and create ways to escape from actually doing true spiritual work.
Then they turn around and say they have mastered there desires and are ego-less yet still cling onto entirely self created drama's, instead of being the hero against the oppressive boss they are the hero against the oppressive sts reptilians from nibiru. Instead of seeing the mechanisms of the mind they simply trade one trap for the other.
