490771 -           The drive to take immediate action rather than analyse to

490773 -           necessarily takes time and attention that consumes cognitive
490774 -           overhead.  Delayed action is sometimes fatal, and sometimes

490783 -           illustory and misleading, like fools gold, and in fact often
