1. It occasionally happens in mathematics that the" real" reasons for the correctness of a result are quite unrelated to the arguments that comprise its proof. The reasoning used in proofs is severely restricted: the arguments must be carefully organized, logically correct, and complete. Every possibility has to be examined. The intuition is freer: intuitive insights may be fragmented, incomplete; rigor and logic are irrelevant; and even incorrect insights may sometimes be useful. While a good understanding of the proof of a result usually contributes to the full comprehension of the result, good intuitive insights may contribute even more. Indeed, appropriate intuitions can make an otherwise mysterious result seem virtually obvious.
