Prematurely judging ideas when they're under developed based on a conjecture |
| 8 |
that the limited context you have so far indicates they "can't work" is also |
| 9 |
harmful, because it simply excludes the fact there may be some data you failed |
| 10 |
to consider that makes it work. |

Hence, it is often effective to intentionally extend through insane ideas |
| 13 |
as a thought exercise, in the assumption that you will discover a final piece |
| 14 |
of the puzzle along the way, and then only judge the ideas once you've gotten |
| 15 |
to a point you *must* start implementing something. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Culling the ideas before you even sit down and implement things leads to the worst |
| 18 |
decision making. |

It is the very definition of "Short sighted" |
