I disagree, if you drink water that tastes like plastic from your drink bottle, you intuition will probably tell you drinking it isn't healthy. You avoid drinking the water until you have evidence to support your intuition.
Is something wrong here? Was something bad done? I would see a problem if I blindly trusted it.
Personally, I was told for a long time to ignore my intuition and it actually got me into trouble quite a few times, I take a more balanced attitude towards it now.
I feel the same way about those Teflon pans as well. I don’t have any evidence, I just… don’t trust ‘em.
