Of course people can get stuck on things. That's very well known. Scientists know it better than most and they still get stuck.

But you can say it in a sentence. You don't need multiple paragraphs.

And you keep saying things like that you're seeing the big picture and structural thinking, but the picture is incredibly blurry and the structure is extremely simple, and every time I try to sharpen the picture or flesh out the structure, you go "no, no!".

And without refinement, it's precisely useless to science because it gives no actual constraints. Anything could be considered before recognizing that structure, and anything could be considered after.
