Abstract
Intuitions about the passage of time or the idea that objects persist through time by being numerically identical and fully localized at different instants play an important role in some arguments in favor of the A theory of time or endurantism.
Conversely, endurantism or the B theory of time are often considered counter-intuitive, and this counts in the eyes of some as an argument against these theories.
I'm going to show that the use of such intuitions in the A/B debate or in the endurantism/perdurantism debate leads to a form of confusion and gives rise to bad arguments. Indeed, such intuitions cannot play the argumentative and explanatory role that some friends of endurantism and theory A would like them to play.
