I think you have it precisely. Sometimes it's useful to frame the discussion as a moderate kind of balance, other times it's useful to frame the discussion as a dynamic kind of balance. But what's key is to use the correct model for the situation at hand!
It's important to study broadly, if we can, to get lots of models to draw from; just like it's useful to a poet to learn many languages, or a painter to work in lots of media. But how hard it is to overcome our natural tendencies! I'll never be an extrovert; but I still need to practice communicating. I'll never be especially driven, but I still need to practice seizing the moment.
