psychological theory has gone too far??
maybe
a) you find yourself analyzing every interaction in review that you had within the day, and trying to analyze the defense mechanisms you have noticed in other people
b) you analyze your own defense mechanisms
c) you analyze your own defense mechanisms in reaction to the other persons defense mechanisms
d) a,b, and c
e) you start to analyze why you are being so analytical

Occam's Razor.

Theory deals in the realm of possibility, in which the multiplicity of outcomes are uncountable.

Of course, the farther that possibility is from reality the more improbable it is.

So a theory that's built on a theory that's built on a theory is definitely distant to reality.

Perhaps when you are no longer actually learning anything or farther ahead with all the analysing.
