Nail struck squarely on the head. This is why naming things is is hard. The temptation and sometimes need to barrel through without real understanding in very strong.

My practice is to notice when I'm starting to struggle with naming things and take that as a signal that I don't quite have what I'm doing clear in my mind. I need to step back and take a few moments to reflect. It's saved me from future trouble more often than I can count.

alternative thinking - if you need to name something to understand it that is a smell…
