Don't the invested dollars poured into infrastructure that won't yield gains represent a loss of value? Especially if the same investment could have been put to work somewhere more fruitful.

- paulddraper 10mo agoIt's (1) a loss of expected value (2) misspent resources. You spent $X to buy RAM chips, expecting that you could produce $Y with it. But you didn't. So you (1) failed to realize the expected value $Y, and (2) misallocated $X, which in hindsight you would have used differently. Again, that's all learning that future expectations do not match reality. The decision/action happened earlier, and is separate from the realization. Attributing the material loss to the realization is misplaced.
