EvF,
Ok how about this:
Lazy is a simlarly meaningless term but it is useful in a job setting as defining a person relative to the mean labor output of similar workers. There is no definable metric for "lazy" that isn't dependant on the industry the person works for.
Over-analysis can be applied to a group that takes more time to analyze projects relative to the mean output of similar groups. "Good" and "Bad" aren't directly applicable as over-analysis is a metric of time spent. Good and bad enter into the equation when making qualitative assessments between two groups and only then can we know for sure if the group that takes more time is over-analyzing or just taking the appropriate amount of time, hence the group taking less time is under-analyzing.
For the record, I understand your difficulty with the term and only suggest that it has limited use which I have explained. You will have to explain to me what you are refering to when you say, "What is so often thought to be over-analysis, in my experience can be very good..." (By whom?) I can only surmise that you are using a rhetorical device to add credence to your case.
They told me you would do this. Everyone knew you would. /rhetoric
