How much effort would it take you to pay attention to whether or not you are goal or task oriented and to time a few things to see if you are being too focused on efficiency when you could just be getting things done?

If you posted about how you approached flying a drone and someone noticed something they thought could use improvement, would you ask for a source? Or just give it a try if their advice sounded reasonable?

Let's not get so enthusiastic about asking for sources and evidence that we insist on sources for things which we could quickly and cheaply experiment with on our own and find out for ourselves if the advice has any merit.
