Thirded, and I want to expand on your point about "picking the wrong path". For a lot of decisions (especially low-stakes ones) you don't even have to go down the path. Just having taken a decision, arbitrary as it is, gives you information.

Simple example, happens often: my partner and I want to go out to eat, but can't make up our minds where. Take the top two choices and flip a coin. Then just see how you each feel about that decision the coin made. Often it reveals a stronger preference than anyone was aware of. In that case, disregard the coin's choice. And if it doesn't, then just follow the coin's choice, since you're not losing anything by it.

And I would like to expand on this answer. Most of the time I noticed, that it doesn’t even matter what I choose because each option has pros and cons and most of the time they have equal weight (otherwise it would be easy to choose). So in the end, I‘m happy regardless what I choose. The example with the food fits quite well here too.
