I prefer your style of thinking over the "brute force" method in the top comment. If thinking was an olympic sport, I feel it is more akin to gymnastics than power-lifting. I believe that if you are rational, disciplined, and take your time you can have more accurate beliefs and make better decisions than someone with greater raw intellectual power. I also agree that premature conclusion is the most common error of thinking. We must be mindful of irrational fear causing a false sense of urgency. Thinking compulsively without forming a conclusion can be a problem too, but it's probably a better problem to have.
