Have I missed some good analysis, op-eds or blogs/vlogs?
No, it's mostly ego and not substance. Alot of members chase the TTA titles, but post more garbage then anything else. TTAs have posted some good info. @Penguin @SvenSvensonov @Aepsilons @LeveragedBuyout @PARIKRAMA @S.U.R.B. @SpArK @Fenrir (yup, me. I was a TTA and a mod here years ago) and many more were fantastic posters, their quality was how they got the TTA title in the first place. But overtime the forum got to them and they either left or stopped posting quality info. Hell, even Armstrong used to post good info before he went Troll Supreme!
You did miss some good info, but it wasn't because of the TTA title. Rather it was because of that quality that those members got the TTA title, and many of them disagreed with being awarded for their posts and didn't want a special title.
What exactly does the think tank do?
Nothing really. It was a title invented to differentiate members who frequently posted higher quality info from the rest of the forum's chaff. It let you know that this member was supposed to post good and in-depth info, but now is often mocked or derided since some TTAs just flat out don't deserve their title anymore, or ever, and don't uphold the qualities the title was meant to represent.
I really think this forum needs a "Troll" title too.
