Reply to comment by paddywacknack in A 2-year-old boy was lost in the Florida woods for 24 hours. Everyone feared the worst. Hundreds of volunteers came out to look for him. One volunteer came to a fork in a field: right or left? He trusted his gut, went left and soon heard a whimper. It was the little boy, crying but in good health. by ConquerWyoming

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Why is it turned into some drama requiring mystical woo that the guy who found him 'trusted his gut' as if there's some kind of divine inspiration, rather than just he got lucky and found him?

And what would prevent him or the rest of the rescue team from ALSO searching the path on the right?
