The point was that the walk isn't random, and that if it were unguided, the participants believed it would be unbounded. Presumably it's easy to stay within $6

Presumably it's easy to stay within $63 when the decisions are guided.
- roel_v 11y agoBut how so isn't it random? The article doesn't say, unless I misunderstood.
- shaftway 11y agoIsn't it painfully obvious? They're discussing joint events, like dinner. Whoever owes money in the relationship pays.
- roel_v 11y agoI guess I'm daft, but if they'd just flip a coin each time on who pays, in the long run they'd each pay the same, if each payment event were to be random (let's even say within an upper limit, to keep the 'in the long run' within the lifespan of their relationship). Why wouldn't the dollar amounts of these events be essentially random?
