"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,
