If you are unsure of the next best move choose the next move which leaves you with the most options. The meta point being that advance programs recognize this pattern and then judge you accordingly. The meta meta pattern thus leads to making all your moves seem like they were all planned from the start. This is sort of encapsulated by a saying attributed to GE executives: “if at first you don’t succeed, bury all evidence that you tried.”
