So you think with fewer variants, one of those few is more likely to meet your needs? Doesn't having more variants make it more likely that one will suit you, or at least get closer?

- al_borland 2y agoThis is the paradox of choice. If there is 1 option, a person gets it and it's not perfect, but it's fine. They know what they're getting and make it work. If there are a bunch of variants there is a greater expectation that one of them will perfectly fit the need, and they are always left wondering if a different one would have been better, and are thus left feeling unsatisfied. Some choice is good. Too much choice is problematic. This TED talk probably explains it better. https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_paradox_of_choice?language=en https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_paradox_of_choi...
