I like the idea of finding a good decision in the context of a current situation. I don't like the idea that terms like 'correct' and 'incorrect' should not be used. For some problems, there exist exactly correct solutions (like adding integers). The lack of a well-founded or at least well-known correct solution is what forces you to look for an optimal solution made of trade-offs.
