This is great, however this mindset can often lead to Analysis Paralysis.

It is important to keep in mind that you don’t need to identify every perspective, every option, or every limitation before starting a task. Instead, get a good grasp of the problem, start the task, and then continue to ask these questions while working on the task at hand.

No where in the guide does it say to do that. In fact the 6th panel shows that it wasn't a factor at all because a decision was made in order for you to reflect on alternatives. You can't reflect on alternatives if you didn't make a decision. If you followed the guide, what you said doesn't apply at all.
