If you use intuition, that's the explanation, you arrived at the data through intuition. It's like if you see something, the explanation for how you arrived at the data is you saw it, and if you worked through a logical proof, the explanation for the data is you worked through a logical proof. How do you plan on getting rid of intuition? If you do that you'll just live in a world consisting of a bunch of nonsensical data and have to reason through everything if you can figure it out at all.
