I have an engineering background, and I still find myself trying to fully understand what's going on and what possible options we can take when facing a problem. This article reminds me of the importance of thinking through whether it's worth it before diving into detailed research. Thank you for this valuable reminder!
totally! And, sometimes useful to classify as one-way vs. two-way doors (as Bezos famously classified them). one way doors are non-reversible, so the cost of being wrong is higher...spend (much) more time on them vs for the reversible decisions.
