IBM, Watson, guts, and autism

In the New York Times' What is I.B.M.'s Watson, Thompson talks about the advantage of the best Jeopardy human contestants over the new IBM Jeopardy computer contestant:

So long as they have a good feeling in their gut, they’ll pounce on the buzzer, trusting that in those few extra seconds the answer will pop into their heads.

Here are the guts again, a center of feeling; as I said previously, that's a place to look in for autism.
