A parallel to analysis paralysis. Sometimes being less familiar with all the options is best. Instead of having to make a decision on what to work on, you have a task and you have a tool and you use the tool to complete the task.

If you're aware of all the problems in the world, of all the places that have issues, how do you decide which one to apply your time and talent to?

Or maybe it's actually the truth, and maybe smart individuals are more aware of their very small amount of power to change things for unworkable opportunity costs.
