do we want to get answers early and know that we have failed earlier .. or do we want to delay decision making until either the situation changes so much that the original decision-question disappeared or the decision made itself thanks to the actions of external forces? i guess a related question is how much control do you want or how much do you trust randomness in the environment? i appear to have argued in the past that delayed decision making is good ( here )
p.s: someone actually had a thesis on a strategy called "win or lose fast" for playing AI games and managed to get an honorable mention for it
p.p.s: its funny the amazing consistency with which i write the p.s/asides before writing the actual content (not that there is much anyway)
