No. While there always is a difference between someone claiming a certain property of a thing and that thing actually having that property, some properties are easily verifiable but others are not. For example, "offline capable" is easily verifiable.

For "intuitive" on the other hand, even the meaning of the word is not clear. I think that it means "aligns well with one's previous experiences". That, however, means that it is idiotic to say that "this UI is intuitive", just as it is idiotic to say that "this line is orthogonal"---you have to specify _to_what_ that line is orthogonal, and _to_whom_ the UI is intuitive.
