I think it makes sense intuitively. It's just most of us aren't really trained since childhood to work with inaginary numbers. Sure, it's not a 1:1 mapping to your fingers, but it's not that unintuitive. Like when I do certain calculations I go into a second dimension of numbers where I can move around just as in the first dimension, because those calculations are outside of our current physical reality.
I say current as if our reality will change somehow somewhen lol.
