I have the same “unnecessary-ness” variant.

I have a misophonia response to dripping faucets but only if they can be adjusted and turned off. When I spent the night somewhere with a broken faucet, the pain disappeared once I realized it couldn't be fixed.

Ive been turning that over in my mind for years, trying to figure out how to apply the lesson to chewing.

The two most interesting problems I know of with data driven decision-making are:

1) The “drunk looking for his keys under the street light“ problem. There is a human inclination to limit the scope of thought to what is visible.

2) The inclination to look for data that supports your conclusions. This is the real intractable problem. For most people, gathering data is a fetch quest for what they want to do anyway. It’s a big problem for academics doing “real science”. In a company where many are trying to launch, get the promotion and move onto another job, (without even the veneer of a check through peer review) it’s an even bigger problem.

This isn’t exactly a replied to your post I know, but I see that everyone else is using your thread to bring up there quibbles with data driven decision-making, so I thought I’d do the same cause I don’t see anyone making these points
