Keeping in mind, though, that a "stupid cached thought" is not stupid merely because it is cached. It looks to me like this might be a confusion between "cached thought" and "short handle that refers to a more detailed, commonly understood situation", both here and in your earlier response to me in this thread.

Ironically, this means you need to avoid the cached thought "cached thoughts are stupid" and actually think about the problem.
