People who answer questions on this list have forgotten how unintuitive 
intuitive can be. In other words, they have found that the intuitive way 
to do things in python is usually the right way, which may not be the 
case in other languages. Thus, your instinct to see if your instincts 
are correct rings as laziness here, when in fact you are just being 
rigorous.

Here is one my favorite examples of python intuitiveness:

if something is not something_else:
   do_whatever()

Who would have thunk it?
