It's neat how a longer "digestive tract" loses entropy, but can make up for it by making more sense of things. It's akin to adding a NN layer, to a more computationally-intensive lossy compression algorithm, or to asking a LLM to explain the problem domain and the relevant variables (populating attention) before getting to the point.

It's probably true for people too. Instead of asking an expert for an opinion right away, ask them to discuss the options out loud first.
