Not far off. The simplest version (honestly oversimplified, but it'll do) is to imagine a graph. Time to respond on the x axis, quality of response on the y-ax

Not far off. The simplest version (honestly oversimplified, but it'll do) is to imagine a graph. Time to respond on the x axis, quality of response on the y-axis. Slowing down is just moving to the right. You take more time to deliver the same response. That would be bad. Lowering quality is just moving down. Same time, worse response. That would also be bad. What "slow (but deep) thinkers" do is move up and to the right. Better responses, delivered in more time. I don't want to call that "slow" though, it's just taking more time to do more valuable thinking.
