Seems accurate, though I think Thinking This Through A Bit involved the part of backchaining where you look at approximately where on the map the destination is, and that’s what some pro-backchain people are trying to point at. In the non-metaphor, the destination is not well specified by people in most categories, and might be like 50 ft in the air so you need a way to go up or something.
And maybe if you are assisting someone else who has well grounded models, you might be able to subproblem solve within their plan and do good, but you’re betting your impact on their direction. Much better to have your own compass or at least a gears model of theirs so you can check and orient reliably.
