I like this rant. Seldom do I see the need for a real-time system and sometimes I think engineers and program managers gravitate towards the concept to better answer questions of "why" a problem happens. But analytics problems most of the time can't be solved in real time. You have to put on your thinking cap, take a step back, do some background research, and be patient. And as an analyst it is bad for your credibility to jump to conclusions. Unlike engineering, it better to be slow and right on your first try than "move fast and break things".
