While gut feelings certainly can lead you astray, in a case like this I'd guess that you were aware on some level that this was a particularly threatening situation for reasons you simply could not articulate. Under the circumstances I'd say you were right to trust your "gut," since the consequences of ignoring it if your gut is right are much worse than the consequences of following your gut and being cautious.
And that goes double if TWO of you felt that way! Somewhere your mind is making connections that you simply couldn't articulate.
Oh, and I know that thread was some time ago, but I'm proud of you for being able to do this job and so many other things... and I guess for trusting your instincts here!
