““If you were a military official doing weapons procurement, it’s not-at-all obvious what you should prioritize for different military units. Do you want higher-precision rifles that are more liable to fail under the harshest conditions, or do you want lower-precision weapons that keep working but at a lower level of accuracy? One of the reasons that Higher-Order Thinking is hard to do is the natural tendency of people to say “I want it all.” Obviously, you should get all the fundamentals and easy gains.””
