Let's put on our thinking caps

Police Say They Found Testosterone at Home of Pistorius

Yeah, I don't really care so much about whether the police found testosterone or not.  The more interesting thing is that this guy shot a gun through a closed door because he heard something, even though someone else lived in the same house as him.  I don't know whether there was premeditation or not, and I'm not going to pass judgment on that, or even whether he should be charged with murder.  Instead, I'm going to assume he's telling the truth.

Apparently, he thought his girlfriend was asleep.  I guess it didn't occur to him to check.  This is what I call acting on "gut instinct," or "feelings," or "intuition."  Whatever you want to call it.  Really, if you're going to start shooting a gun, perhaps you should try a little rational thought first, unless, of course, you're standing face to face with an armed intruder.  Then, go with your feelings.   Unfortunately, though, more and more people tend to go with their feelings about things and little effort is put into any kind of rational thought.  This is a prime example of the importance of rational thought to our society; it's another example of why people need to forget about their biases, forget about what they think they know, and start actually thinking.
