Our intuition is so poor that it even gets many classical mechanics problems wrong. Most hilariously the various resonance-related things (my favourite practical example is a pendulum swinging upwards, which looks like pure magic).
Intuition is also very poor in dealing with nonlinear things (think soliton waves and all that stuff). So, trusting an intuition is always wrong and intuition got no place in science anyway, not just in nanoscale.
