Where avoiding analysis paralysis comes is in steps 1 and 2 - you might
be done at that point.
where the theory helps is in step 3, - some theory might save time on
repetitive "try something"
Or if step 1 is really expensive, and a failure at step 2 is a problem.
Admittedly, half the fun is experimenting - I prefer antenna theory
textbooks where there are pictures of the author in front of antennas
they've built.
