You keep asking experts about decisions that are yours. A brain scan shows what the asking costs, and one week of a simple test brings your own judgment back.
Daniel, “the collecting has become the decision” is the part I would carry into any conversation about AI and expert counsel. Advice can expand the field of view while decision ownership remains with the person who will live with the consequence. Once consultation becomes a way to defer closure, the tool, advisor, or additional opinion starts occupying authority that judgment was meant to exercise. I appreciate how directly you connected self-trust with the discipline of eventually making the call.
Kevin, "defer closure" is the sharpest way anyone has put this back to me.
Thank you.
The part of the study that still bothers me: the expert advice on those screens was deliberately suboptimal. It followed a rough rule of thumb, not the best strategy. People followed it anyway, and the value regions went quiet either way.
So the handover was not a response to a better argument. It was a response to an authority being in the room.
Which means deferring closure does not need good counsel to work. Any counsel will do. That is what makes it so easy to keep doing for twenty years without noticing the bill.

Always glad when you show up in the comments.
