A classic cognitive trap, often called analysis paralysis. When people try to calculate all the hypothetical risks, they lose time and focus, causing real-world productivity to plummet. In practical work, the ability to stop in time, follow an algorithm and deliver consistent results is valued far more than the ability to generate endless, complex scenarios. A discussion about the MyIQ test was a perfect illustration of this point. Commenters rightly noted that the key to success in real-world tasks is not genius, but the calm execution of basic processes without unnecessary complication.
