16/ Every one of these is a potential product. What should our firm, firm X, produce? Firm X must look at it's existing engineers, it's existing product designers, it's existing mfgr facilities and equipment, it's existing sales channels, and then pick 1 or more.

17/ "your claim is false, but I have no evidence proving it false ; I misused a term, and now you have to come up with a better term" no this type of argument bores mehttps://twitter.com/Wfflthebffl/status/1349767404637872129 …

Maria 🔞Gloop Dog 🌭 @WfflthebfflReplying to @MorlockPThat seems like a ridiculous claim, it's probably rarer than people think but you're effectively claiming perverse incentives and monopolies don't exist.

*Both* of those are great outcomes. And you and I are smart enough to navigate the tradeoffs. But not everyone is you or me. Most people will want quality advice. Hence my advice to pay for it. Stop looking at Amazon star ratings. That's *definitely* bad sausage.

Shows up in a lot of problem areas - inherent to 3 value functions that return "valid" or "invalid" for a wide array of inputs. Example off the top of my head is the photographic triangle - shutter speed, aperture and ISO - near total freedom to pick any single value.
