I feel like that would've been a completely fair question for someone to wonder about in 1990. Being told "you're just overthinking" is to me more akin to saying "I don't know and I don't like to think about this so you shouldn't either". I'm not saying that's what you were doing, but I find it completely natural to question things and attempt to address ignorance and see what other perspectives are out there. The painful part is when people forget that not everyone has the same level of knowledge or perception as them.
I've gotten a lot of really useful replies and some recommendations of learning resources, so I feel like this post was productive.
I never tried to imply a plan was actually needed. I was just writing out my random thoughts.
