> The people who try to figure out the exact rules of everything they do tend to be less effective than people who figure out a strategy that works and simply execute. I agree with this idea in general, but I think it’s prudent sometimes to ask if one has the best strategy or just a good enough strategy. Folks who rarely or never reflect on this often end up at a (relatively low) local maximum. In this experiment, it would probably be reflected in the results if they had a larger sample and made a combo with the black dots block award more stars. Many adults probably would not discover this, while many/most kids probably would.
