It's a stage in one's personal growth as a Game Designer that can lead to
better things.  I'm certainly not about to stop formulating and theorizing
about Game Design, it's definitely a productive endeavor.  What *has*
changed about my outlook, however, is that the majority of time has to be
spent implementing.   Game Design Theory discussions are for staying awake
when you don't feel like rolling up your sleeves and doing real work.
