But surely all but the very best strategy for selection are equally worthless!

But surely all but the very best strategy for selection are equally worthless!
- dragonwriter 8y agoI see what you did there, but it's worth noting that that's not true even when the related extreme assumption underlying the secretary problem holds: that assumption is that every selection other than the very best is equally worthless. But strategies other than the very best will have different probabilities of picking the best selection, and so will have value proportionate to that probability. (Since they will have a value equal to value of the best selection with that probability, and a value of zero otherwise.)
