Re: 'Clever' is not always a compliment
Oooh. Analysis. Well spotted!

I agree entirely that analysis is missing. I often stop a project at the analysis stage, simply because it becomes very obvious to me that the amount of time it will take it is going to be HUGE, and that even then there's no reason to believe that my analysis will produce something that actually works. Or, at the very least, that I'd be happy with.

Analysis and perfectionism have killed more great ideas than any other combination of qualities, I think.
