> Are you reading the deeper lesson though?

The "deeper" (?) lesson and subtext I'm hearing from the OP is that we should get excited like little children about each and every new fad, because, you know, this may just be the 0,01% when it actually matters, and we don't want to miss it.

Well, I don't mind using "lazy heuristics" and waiting around a little to see if something happens. No need to hurry or jump around. Plenty of time.

...no the surface lesson is that lazy heuristics produce habits that provide the illusion of certainty without any rigour backing up those beliefs; the outcome may correspond with reality but the process getting you there isn't rational or dependable, because it always produces the same output regardless of input.

The "deeper lesson" if there is such a thing here is that experts are people too, and just as fallible, only in ways that are generally invisible to everyone but another expert.
