The question in the second paragraph depends on the belief that someone could engage in pointless refactoring.

There is an implied assertion that clojure's design provides more opportunities for someone to engage in pointless refactoring.

Disproving that someone could engage in pointless activity would miss the point of the question. So, providing an example for that would possibly lead to more confusion.

If the implied asssertion about clojure's design were taken to further imply that the design is flawed in those cases, this would also be missing the point of the question.

If cases in which clojure's design were flawed were not invented for the purpose of pursuing this questioning. Without criticism of clojure's design, specifics about how clojure could be used in a multitude of ways to solve a problem, could be described by way of example. But, that would also miss the point of the question.

So, if the image of someone engaging in pointless refactoring reminds you of an experience that you have had, and if you can use that as the model for a general case, how would you suggest preventing the general case from being made actual, in the future?

Can you give a concrete example?

    With clojure in particular, I am having trouble not rearranging my
    code to be what I think is more optimal in ways that seem probably
    not practical. I've noticed myself doing that when I'm newish to
    languages and apis. But, I go bonkers with clojure.

    Do you have any thoughts about how to avoid that, other than Bob
    Newhart's advice:
