Maybe… but the article had an anecdote of asking Ian Goodfellow for ideas and none of those ideas working. I would assume Ian Goodfellow would have the requisite amount of experience for sufficient intuition.

Well, maybe. It isn't entirely clear just when that anecdote happened (he was at Google first as an intern, then as a research scientist, then he was at OpenAI before going back to Google).
In any case, as important as a developed intuition is, it is no guarantee that it will provide the necessary insight after hearing a description of the problem rather than experiencing and digging into it himself.
