she does not differentiate between the larger topic at hand and the small mechanisms within that topic. So she is drawn like a moth to fame to WHAT SHE KNOWS [or thinks she knows], and picks out flaws in the overall flow and gets mired down like a raft getting stuck in an eddy while the river of life passes by.

Err, you could be talking about me, here, except that, of course, I don't agree with you that disproving the "flaws" on assumptions on which an argument is based is necessarily "getting stuck" etc.

This is scientific methodology - i.e. if the assumptions are false, then the conclusions don't stand a chance. What you call "picking small flaws" is, most probably, actually undermining your whole argument.

It's the sign of a mathematical mindset. Quite enervating to most people who don't think in these terms, apparently (I am told).
