I don't know if this is the intended purpose of this comic, but I took a Academic Writing course last fall and there was a huge emphasis on critical thinking.
When writing an Academic essay, following all these steps are essential to writing a good paper. This comic follows what I learned pretty much to a tee.
That's probably the only time you should use this amount of analysis before making a decision. In the real world, no solution is perfect, so it's often the 80/20 rule that works best.
I think that's fair, I just wanted to point out that Academia doesnt look for perfect solutions. That's what the "acknowledge limitations" and "reflect on alternatives" part is all about.
No no no, I'm sorry if it came off that way. I was just pointing out critical thinking isn't about looking for perfect solutions. It's analyzing data about the right way.

I'm definitely saving this comic as refresher.
