EvF,
Whatever scare quotes are! You still need to 'splain me what you mean.
Over-analysis is a subjective term that, by definition, means too much analysis. It has no overarching use, but is useful in select arenas as I have demonstrated. It is an imprecise term so I see where it might cause trouble for you. It is a poorly defined idea that is meant to be avoided and yet is hard to define in any objective way. You can't write a spec around over-analysis but what we are doing certainly falls into the category of over-analysis (From my point of view) because nothing productive has come from it. Here is the kicker though, if you agree with me then we have succeeded in adding to your knowledge and we haven't been over-analyzing this! (From my point of view at least)
It is corporate speak and is refereed by the manager of the group that is doing the analyzing.
