Thus, although Step 2 primarily entails collecting and assessing lots of relevant information, we believe that sustaining the doubt you nurtured in Step 1 remains critical. Step 2 is not fundamentally about “understanding” but about seeking to understand. It is less about asking, “How much can I learn about my subject matter” as it is about asking, “Am I posing the best questions possible? Am I pondering my current answers with sufficient doubt? What ideas and outlooks am I clinging to that no longer make sense? How can I change them to make more creativity possible?”
