Given how distorted and contextless the politically relevant information we get is, waiting a few weeks for the details is almost always the right choice. This situation may be an exception but I doubt it.
- tsimionescu 6y agoDoing nothing is not a default position in this type of situation - it is an active choice. This is similar to the pandemic. If you stop and wait for more data, you're not taking a conservative approach, you're deciding based on the available data that the best course of action is to do nothing.
