Interesting. Did thinking about the paralysis feel similar to (learning a good argument against your favourite political ideology / seeing your favourite sports team lose / listening to an offensive but true remark made by your enemy / any situation in which you fell victim to confirmation bias)?

It did not feel especially similar to any of the examples you list.
The general case is harder to think about... I'm not sure.
