If you are in a gunfight, would you rather have a slight advantage?
You also need to consider the risks and circumstances, sometimes you want every tiny edge possible.
- tialaramex 5y agoSure, you spend as long as you like figuring out how best to achieve the slight advantage, meanwhile I shoot you in the head. Analysis paralysis, figuring out what to do costs time and time is expensive so you should avoid this unless you've got a good reason to expect it actually matters and you believe you can actually do it correctly.
- vidarh 5y agoThe problem with this is that it presumes you know which actually has an advantage in that scenario to within the error margins. In the $10 example, I'd argue chances are very small that you actually know who provides the most value because just a tiny shift in the measurement criteria could shift things in the other direction. If such a tiny edge matters, it's an indicator you have a problem.
- dasil003 5y agoNot to mention someone’s value ends up varying based on what they are assigned to and who they work with. Frankly the whole idea of precisely measuring individual value is bean-counting bullshit.
