This is actually pretty perceptive (no pun intended), although it isn't 
the *quite* the way I learned it. The Myers-Briggs website puts it this way:

"...when it comes to dealing with the outer world, people who tend to 
focus on making decisions have a preference for Judging *because they 
tend to like things decided*. People who tend to focus on taking in 
information prefer Perceiving *because they stay open to a final 
decision in order to get more information*."

I haven't really noted a war between these personality types. Perceivers 
want a decider as long  as as much time as possible was made available 
for investigation. But I can see that Judgers would be distressed by an 
environment where investigation is inevitably open ended, where all the 
answers might never be nailed down.
