Analysis is of course incredibly important no matter what you are trying to do. Ecosystem building requires an incredible amount of analysis to answer these and a myriad of other questions. But analysis coupled with building/data gathering/experimentation is much better than analysis alone.
From my post:
It provides a place for analysis and practice to intersect—Many current EAs may be stronger in gathering and analyzing data to help guide and influence those on the front lines. At the same time, all analysis is improved by interaction with the real world. This represents a place where those that analyze and those that build can interact to their mutual benefit.
I’m a bit confused, Mjreard seems to be saying something more like ‘hubs are common’ than ‘hubs are exotic’?
I was responding to the series of questions that implied building these would mean encountering difficult or impossible to answer questions.
I don’t think that’s what was implied—rather that they require analysis to answer, and that your post is in the vein of encouraging less analysis

I don’t think anyone disagrees with that
