Seems fairly accurate.  Intuitive is a combination of familiarity of
past experiences and newer innovation which utilizes the psychology
of the user in various ways but just as this shows, there are parts
where the familiar isn't intuitive (and makes a user want to pull
their hair out, or think that it would be easier to give themselves a
root-canal than to use the program/tool) and there are very new
intuitive interfaces which feel so new that it takes a little for the
user to get their brain wrapped around how to use the app/tool because
they're not used to something feeling so elementarily easy.

The intersection is dynamic, too. Unconventional intuitive paradigms
can become conventional given time, as they cement into established
patterns.
