Our work was precisely in optimization over massive numbers of possible scenarios amid multi-dimensional uncertainties. Again, significantly outperforms LP. Not surprised that you are an advocate of math optimization. Most people working on optimization in industrial operations and supply chains have an OR background, and this sort of conservatism is common. But there are lots of situations that LP can't optimize while RL can.

Exactly because they provide a certificate of optimality. It is like stating that you found a non-negative number that is smaller than 0. It’s not progressive. It’s flat out wrong. "But there are lots of situations that LP can't optimize while RL can" I will be satisfied if you just show us 1. Stay in your lane, and state that you built a fast heuristic that works (finds good solutions but not optimal) in the problems you tried. Nobody can dispute this. But don't make claims you cannot support.
