You don’t understand that quote. It’s saying 70% of the time when people think reinforcement learning is the solution it’s not. Not saying that 30% of all problems are solvable by reinforcement learning. Sometimes I can’t tell if people here you included are intentionally misreading things to further their agenda.

More likely, sometimes people are just tired, distracted, or after consumption of alcohol/drugs.

Personally, every other week I find myself writing a comment - sometimes long - and then deleting it a minute later, after re-reading the comment I was replying to and realizing I completely misunderstood it, and/or was arguing against a strawman of my own creation. And every other month I have a comment wrt. which I realize my mistake only few hours later.

Did you misread my comment? I'm really confused how you could think that I was saying "of all problems", when I specifically said "of the instances where someone asks if X is a good solution".
I don't give a shit and I read it as 30% of the time it works, so I guess i'm just a dumbass? :(
