    Having studied formal logic, I’m well aware of what a tautology is. It is a statement logically equivalent to A = A.

    Relevance here: a bad outcome is a bad outcome (regardless whether it happens now or later).

      Well if you studied it that still doesn’t make it true. ;) a bad outcome is not the same as a net loss vs a short term loss.

      Different example. Sometimes there is no good / better choice, but it’s imperative that someone chooses, randomly if necessary. No choice would lead to another kind of problem.

      Hence decision paralysis for example.
