As an investor, I don't like a investment that throws away 10-30% of its resources, perpetually lowers morale except among the least creative and misses opportunities because their competition is faster.

Investing or buying into something new and unknown is by itself not a rational act (to the extent the thing is novel).

IMHO rationality (optimization) only makes sense relative to a well-defined goal.
