Gary,

While analysis is definitely one of the great tools for learning ( or not ),
it may have another purpose.

The important purpose of analysis is synthesis. Analysis gives power of
knowledge which can be used to explain unknown and invent new.

Once something is "analyzed", it can be used to assemble new things out of
its pieces. And success of that process gives us the insurance that that
analysis was good.

Language of physics is not necessary for analysis. Analysis extracts little
basic parts and their interactions.

Analysis can be directly used in teaching, but I think only after students
already know what the subject is about - not through the words, but through
personal experience to which certain words are assigned to. If not yet - it
is a teacher's task to analyze and present it in comprehendible order to
learners.

What is better, to dance a lot trying all the time something new and to be
on the edge of the best completely submerging into instincts, or deep
analysis? Both.

Igor.
