I tend to prefer to be very well researched and prepared for most of the things which I get “into” or approach. I like planning and scoping. It does not matter all that much to me if what I scope ever has fruition or not. I like wide global views and to consider implications. Other people, it seems, like to wing it or at least try. I’ll speculate that my envisioning is wider than most. I probably research to an extent which is beyond normal.
I am pretty sure that my predilection for this has pissed people off from time to time.
In answer to my question, planning can be bad in a socio-political sense. Others don’t like it.
It might be soothing for me but it can get the backs of others up and make then a tad hoity toity. Being well prepared can cause dis-ease in others. It may challenge sense of control.

In as far as I can tell I have put the nose out of joint for quite a few people who consider themselves experts and others who have had a bad experience of schools, and teachers. Self-important reactions are easily triggered. Planning by self can exclude input from others. People do not like having Ph.D. viva examinations from, me, Joe Bloggs who looks like a pikey.
People accustomed to being experts can be wary of the well prepared. It is easy to get very defensive reactions. Many are insecure in their knowledge.
I personally do not like to make stuff up on the spot because it can lack accuracy.
It seems to me that some people find my practice of preparation threatening in some way. I don’t need to talk things through to understand.
It takes all sorts…
It looks like I have gone and offended some people again…
phew…
