Closely related to the "bikeshed" effect (https://blog.codinghorror.com/procrastination-and-the-bikeshed-effect/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/procrastination-and-the-bikesh...) a.k.a. Parkinson's Law of Triviality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality). As others have said, this isn't really a paradox. But it's interesting if you continue testing it with more and more trivial decisions. I think you probably reach a pleateau at some point, and actually one the decision reaches a certain point in triviality, decision time may actually decrease. The real factor here is humans' difficulty in quantifying the relative importance of things, especially their own opinions.
