<upd_detl>this and twin entry 下手の考え休むに似たり (which is also in 
daijs) should have the same definition.
the current defs for 下手の考え休むに似たり are:
"It's hard to tell a poor thinker from a sleeping one" &amp;
Mickle fails that fools think"
the "Mickle..." seems to be a jmdictism? very few hits 
outside the Japanese web.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>prog: "It is a waste of time to think a matter over when one 
has no good ideas."
新和英中辞典　”Inadequate ideas are [Inadequate thinking is] 
worse than none at all."</upd_refs>
