- cies 10y ago> "sunk cost fallacy" I like to spot those, did not see this one though, but indeed, sunk cost fallacy it is. Well spotted :)
- IshKebab 10y agoI think it's a little different from that actually. That's normally about the merits of ongoing financial investment, but I get your analogy and there should be a name for it because you see it all the time from compsci types. How about "sunk knowledge fallacy" or something like that?
