Tim, thanks for the additional context.

> Generally speaking, a teacher of this approach who is chanting the
mantra, "analysis leads to paralysis", is _directing_ that toward a
student who is so caught up in the /how/, they cannot do the /what/.

So, it seems reasonable to assume that Mr. Jacobs was addressing a
specific problem where over-analysis was or might get in the way and
not making a categoric statement that any and all analysis is somehow
"bad".

After all, if he was willing to answer analytically focused questions
as Tim describes -- even with the caveat of ceasing when performing --
that means 1) he wasn't ruling it out and 2) he must have partaken in
analytical thinking himself.
