Doesn't this implicitly assume that the negatives are easier to enumerate than the positives? What is the test for this? Gut feeling?

- PeterisP 5y agoIf you are able to find a positive solution, you have solved your problem already. If you're looking for special problem solving techniques, then this implies that for your particular case you are not capable of "enumerating positives" for this problem.
- hprotagonist 5y agoin optimization theory, you pick a cost function and evaluate it. What cost function to choose is, in fact, something of a matter of taste. Nobody really likes saying that part out loud, though :)
