Right from my other post.
It is flexible decision-making capability. You simply get to the "top of the hill" because from there you can move most readily to any other place should you learn it is a better place to be.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoI'm asking you how you define "better". All you've told me is that it's good to be able to get there more quickly, which is almost tautological.
- Retra 12y agoNo, that is not what you were asking. I'd have been glad to answer that for you, but it really has little to do with my point. Regardless, I don't think your attitude indicates that it would be worth my time to explain. I'm not going to write an academic paper for your convenience. >All you've told me is that it's good to be able to get there more quickly, which is almost tautological. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_definition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_definition
