Thanks. I hope someone could look up a discussion on this soccer goalie example: I never really understood it.

Is the example above saying goalies would do the "more productive" thing of standing still more often if they didn't feel the pressure to look like they were doing something? If kickers evenly spread out their shots, you got a 1/3 chance no matter what you do. It wouldn't matter if the goalie went always left or always right or just stood there every time. And if goalies are being irrational, why aren't kickers exploiting it?

Though I agree that you shouldn't be penalized for standing still, that doesn't make jumping right or left "fake work".
