Total knowledge really limits your freedom. Why would you choose a course of action if you know it's wrong? Everyone ends up doing the same thing, according to the rules of the game.
In the past there were far more people who wanted to win the game but didn't have enough information to make the "correct" decision, than there were people willing to lose the game with knowledge of the correct decision.
You can call it imperfection, or the right to be wrong, or just ignorance. It's what affords us freedom.
When were you most carefree in life? When you were a child ignorant of the rules. I'm not saying be childlike, but just establishing the tradeoff here. We've gone way too far into the side of too much information, and it's making us less free and less happy.
