They’re all just throwin’ darts under the guise of skill (actor/observer|outcome bias; when you win, it is skill; when you lose, it was luck, broadly speaking). > Indeed, one should be sophisticated themselves when negotiating investment to not be unduly encumbered by the unsophisticated. But let us not get too far off topic and risk subthread detachment. Edit: @jgalt212: Indeed, one should be sophisticated themselves when negotiating investment to not be unduly encumbered by shades of the unsophisticated or potentially folks not optimizing for aligned interests. But let us not get too far off topic and risk subthread detachment. Feel free to cut a new thread for further discussion on the subject.
