I am an analyzer, also. I think I'm perceptive (ha) But some call it mind reading.
So, I understand the tendency to analyze, but in your case, I feel that sometimes you ask me difficult things to explain b/c it would be like me trying to teach you all about women, and it can't be done. (ha) There have been a few times that I'd like to tell you to just trust me without you thoroughly understanding it all. However, I don't blame anyone for wanting to understand it if it's possible. There's just a few things when dealing with a woman that you will never ever understand.... and if you start to think you do, she'll change it up. Add that with a WAW stitch and you can forget totally understanding it all.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
