Frogs and Intuition

Question

In the book ‘That Which Is Present,’ the Rabbi gives as an example of the fact that when we classify the relevant facts, we do not work from experience but from our intuition— the fact that in frogs the color green seems to us like a relevant fact even though that is a mistake (or perhaps it is relevant for a certain species), but length does not. On the other hand, maybe if we were to see many frogs that were exactly 36 cm long, maybe we would say that this too is a relevant fact? Doesn’t that really come from experience?

Answer

Of course there are things that come from experience. My claim is that there are things that do not.
