While I agree with the gist of the article I think "blind faith" is misleading. Having faith in your intuition is certainly the key. In my experience intuition comes from pattern recognition and often from recognition of discontinuities. Christopher Alexander, he of "A Pattern Language" has another book, "Notes on the Synthesis of form", in which he discusses what I think can be summarized as: we can tell that something is wrong, but understanding how to fix it is harder. At least that is what I took away.

The "blind" part half way applies. You have to have faith that you recognized something that that is out of kilter, and you have to be blind to the fact that you don't know the solution.
