You just explained "analytical thinking" as thinking using the processes of analysis, and "critical thinking" as determining the veracity of information for yourself (not relying on others to make that determination for you), which is exactly what I said.
I have no idea why you opened with "I believe you have this backwards" since we seem to be in agreement.
Analytical thinking is a process of analyzing data. It doesn't encompass the origin of the data or question the data integrity, I believe Critical thinking does that. If we are in agreement, then I apologize for misunderstanding your post.
