But that hypothesis fails to apply to ice cream vendors case. If the hypothesis from Hotelling's Law already presents an explanation, why come up with a special hypothesis to describe this scenario?
- jds375 8y agoJust because a rule applies to more cases doesn’t mean it’s the best answer for a given case (or that we should prefer it over other rules). Consider this example that’s true for many cases, but overall not a sufficient proof https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pólya_conjecture https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pólya_conjecture In fact, I’d be willing to bet both hypotheses contribute to the overall effect we observe.
