I feel like there are some flaws in this, we don't usually have a "top-down" look at a mile around us if not given information (ie. fog of war), feels like we tend to point A to point B repeat because we are comfortable to take a route until otherwise told by someone else there is a shorter path. For example if someone had a drone/scout around I am sure you would be able to determine best routes and chokepoints, traffic, etc.
- ARandumGuy 5y agoI think this is a big factor. If I'm pointed towards my destination, then I always know I'm making progress, and it's easy to stay oriented. In a less "direct" (but shorter) route, it may not be obvious if you make an incorrect turn. I think another factor is just habit. The first few times you take a walk, you'll likely take the "easiest" route, even if it's not optimal by other measures. On subsequent trips, you'll likely just use the route you already know, instead of experimenting with different paths.
