I think the strongly worded logic in your post is questionable. > There is zero actionable difference between a limit that doesn't exist, and a limit that is unknowable and unguessable. Thought experiment: Situation 1: I rely on a single food source, which I know is unlimited. Situation 2: I rely on a single food source, which I'm not sure is unlimited, but I can't guess when it'll run out. > Your behaviour should stay exactly the same either way, until that limit becomes known or guessable in some way Really? Because if I was in situation 2, I would be preparing a contingency. Trying to find another food source. By the time the limit of my current source became knowable, it might be too late and I would starve. The right time to prepare is from a position of strength. That's an actionable difference - do you think this is a valid counterexample to your logic? Or is something not appropriate?
