    People can have a “gut feeling” about something and be absolutely right. It’s just something that you know is true based on previous experiences. It’s an educated guess.

    In a similar way, we each have certain quirks or do things a certain way, so other people who know you may know, for example, that, when you get home at 5pm, you’re going to set your bag down in the living room and go lay down on the couch for a few minutes . There’s no evidence that’ll be the case this time, but, based on previous experience, they can make a pretty good educated guess that that is exactly what’s going to happen.
