   "Still a third approach is to look at flipism as the endpoint of
   a continuum bounded on the other side by perfectly rational
   decision-making. Flipism requires the minimum possible cognitive
   overhead to make decisions, at the price of making sub-optimal
   choices. Truly rational decision-making requires a tremendous
   investment in information and cognition to arrive at an optimal
   decision. However, the expected marginal value of information
   gathered (discounted for risk and uncertainty) is often lower
   than the marginal cost of the information or processing
   itself. The concept of bounded rationality posits that people
   employ cognitive parsimony, gathering only what they expect to
   be sufficient information to arrive at a satisficing (or "good
   enough") solution. Flipism is therefore a rational strategy to
   employ when the cost of information is very high relative to its
   expected value, and using it is an example of motivated tactical
   thinking."

Perl and programming in general are fair game, along with Raku,
