I think it's very human, when presented with an array of options, to desire the best. Just imagine you are presented with N options for a vacuum cleaner. Would you really just pick randomly? 10 years ago (or maybe more like 20 years ago), there was not nearly as much choice. You couldn't find hundreds of different iterations on the same item. Now that you can, many people spend a lot of time agonizing over the options. I agree that points 2 and 3 don't logically follow from desiring the best though.

- DANK_YACHT 4y agoHow do you know the dentist is closest to your house unless you considered multiple options and ranked them by distance? In your case, "best" includes time convenience and you did compare options without even being aware of it.
- earthboundkid 4y agoBy that definition, everything is always selecting the best.
