On the margin I think pretty much everyone on LW is theorizing too much and not experimenting enough. But I agree that stopping yourself from theorizing while experimenting is dumb. Does that sound like a fair summary?
It’s quite possible for a person do to a lot of theorizing in certain domains and no theorizing in others. The key is to theorize in a way that allows you to learn that your theories are wrong by exposing them to real experiments.
