I have something of the same reaction to being asked to intuitively accept EPTLW as I do to the Mary thought experiment.
I'm supposed to intuit "every scientific fact relevant to redness", such that I can judge that this wouldn't render the subsequent direct experience of redness completely uninformative? What hubris to place upon my intuitive capacity! "Every" is a lot of stuff.
I'm supposed to intuit what unbounded wisdom or unboundedly strong social bonds would mean as inherent goods, such that I can judge that they could never be unboundedly good in the face of some large finite torture? How on Earth am I supposed to intuit such things with my limited brain?
These don't seem like intuitive premises at all. They seem like handwavy exaggerations of more mundane (and easily acceptable) intuitions, and the reason people claim to intuit them is because of precommitment to the conclusions.
