Could a Small Delay Create a Better Question?
Time changes thinking before it changes outcomes.
A traveler cannot immediately book a tour because tickets are temporarily unavailable. During the delay, they realize the activity does not actually match the purpose of the trip.
The hidden mechanism is question evolution. Reflection sometimes changes the problem itself rather than improving the solution.
People usually view delays as interruptions to action.
The most valuable outcome of a pause may not be a better answer. It may be a different question entirely.
