This is one of the larger cognitive holes in human cognition. "If (undecidable A), then X, and if (not undecidable A) then X" is not just a math problem. I've seen it freeze entire teams of people of people in real life, in real business meetings. It is a common component of the more advanced "a guy wears a red hat if it is raining and a blue hat if it is not, you see someone wearing an orange hat, is he a cannibal?" riddles. It can inform your investment strategy. It can resolve even debates with your significant other when you say "hang on, if we go with your reason we do X and if we go with my reason we do X, let's just agree to do X each for our own reason". It is very powerful to be able to advance past an uncertainty in some logic net and establish certainty on the other side. It's not a thing that comes up every day by any means, but it's a great tool to add to your belt. And you can see even in this comment thread that it is not intuitive for people.
