Perhaps lesson is that all such sayings mere wisdom-facets, not whole diamond. Appreciate the facet for its beauty, yes, but understand that there are others, including the one most opposite on the other side...perhaps should be something generally understood in thread such as this.
Do not sense real disagreement in this conversation. Thinking has benefits, all agree, and thinking has costs, all agree...doubt Lasker himself waited to move until he knew he had the most perfect move, and yet he no doubt lost and observed others losing because of a move played too rashly....
No, which is why I feel Lasker’s quote is a good rationality quote. If people are constantly expressing disagreement, that’s evidence that something’s wrong. (A decent level of disagreement is healthy, I feel, but not too much.) What happened is this: bentarm interpreted my position differently from what I intended and disagreed with his/her interpretation of my position, so I clarified said position and (hopefully) resolved the disagreement. If there’s no longer anyone arguing against me, then that means I accomplished what I aimed to do.
You’re successfully demolishing a strawman. Is anyone claiming what you are arguing against?

That’s the optimal situation :-) Sometimes such sayings are a body part of an elephant. And occasionally—of a donkey X-D
