It would lead to me to disagree with her because her assertion is relying heavily upon common sense and her intuition.

Explanation:

Over reliance on common sense and intuition tends to ignore critical thinking in areas where it might be needed a lot more than is understood. This approach also tends to ignore the limits of common sense and everyday reasoning and is likely to result in incorrect conclusions.
