That's where I disagree.
The first sentence in the first blackjack book I ever read said
"There is a mathematically correct way to play very hand"
I don't know if you count or not, or if you are familiar with the principles of card counting, but unless the deck has a positive true count of +2, you should always hit a 16 against a 10.
Of course, it's a marginal play at best because the difference works out to something like losing 65% of the time when you hit, and 70% of the time when you don't (something like that; I don't have a BJ book in front of me).
But I never play hunches, strictly percentages. Sure, you can play a hunch and be right, but in the long run, you gave away those few extra percentage points by playing the hunches.

Just a hunch
