> Only if you require that every option must be assessed. You can always choose a random subset, or the first X entries, as use those as the solution space. Choosing a random subset is a solution, but it clearly is not an always better solution as you claimed. > Additional solutions provide for additional strategies in choosing a solution, but at any time you can ignore additional solutions and treat them as if they don't exist. You're literally using "ignore additional solutions" as a counterargument to the assertion that more solutions create "yet another distraction". Unhappy with solution X? Propose a couple other solutions {N}, until people get lost thinking about something in {N} and ignore X. Which is what the GP comment complained about.
