My take is I can actually see Galen's point of view (BTW, I was one instigator in suggesting his post was interesting to read on this issue), in that I do think Ti types can have this kind of weakness, but it is less apparent in those who are pretty good combining their ego block elements effectively.
I think my way of thinking proceeds by a kind of speculative conceptual expansion to find out what is the concept being raised to describe reality, rather than finding out how it describes reality always in a direct way (the latter part is where a speculative approach ensures I hopefully never miss how it might or might not).
Eventually, the version of the theory that best hits reality kind of just falls out.
Now, some may ask why the heck do this when you can just describe reality directly? I find that those who don't take a step back to really witness how far the process of law-based or principle-building conceptualization can go from direct apprehension of reality may be very aware of reality, they may describe real things, but when they do create frameworks, they become so inconsistent in how they apply them that it might as well be chance.
BTW, this is exactly what I think of how people assign types in the world of functions/MBTI/etc.
Now, those who still trust the free-er flowing technique might say, we're not attached enough to the rules, and we treat people as people, etc, etc when we describe them. I find that is true of some, but at the end of the day, a good detached-from-reality conceptualization together with caution in how it is applied to make statements about the real world tends to achieve the sort of same, but really opposite-but-good effect.
In other words, I find the non-Ti types sometimes overstep from direct dealing in the factual/practical logic realm to the structural logic realm where they can't, and make arbitrary applications of rules they aren't aware how they created, much as Ti types sometimes apply their frameworks to reality in an arbitrary way.
