You made me think that young children do something like that too. When running away/playing they try to maximize the cost/effort of running away, not actual distance. Like: zigzagging, passing under chairs or tables, climbing on something just to immediately climbing off. The problem is they usually maximize their effort, not yours in following them. Nice, thanks :)
