The ones with intuition and open mindedness can recognise patterns that arent well supported by mainstream thinking and can follow their intuition to places that others cant. There is a con to this aspect as well however in that sometimes these people also find patterns which are actually noise using the same method. Difficult game to play. I think this is why so many people believe flat earth. They have somehow had their intuition hijacked. "They" dont make it easy for us to be fair. The pattern I see is psyops within psyops or layers of deception. The powers that be can game conspiracy theorists because they know they don trust the mainstream but then add on a layer of a new BS conspiracy theory which some of those who are open/intuitive trust because we have a bias towards always being lied to. I think using a blend of logic and research and intuition is a more surefire solution. Takes a long time to develop though. Just some thoughts.
