Yeah, that is pretty close to what I'm talking about. Coming at it from a different perspective - learning theory - but it seems to be the same overarching idea

Yeah, that is pretty close to what I'm talking about. Coming at it from a different perspective - learning theory - but it seems to be the same overarching idea. I'm extending it a little though to something similar to anachronistic reasoning being incorrect - you can't divorce prudential decisions from their context. When you do judgement of the decisions is flawed because it doesn't acknowledge the actual constraints the decision was made under.
