It’s not sensible to use an X-invariant strategy unless you believe X carries no information whatsoever.
This is not the case. It is sufficient for the X input channel to be very noisy, biased, or both, or for mistakes in measurement of X to be asymmetrically costly.
Separately, you may note that I did not, in fact, argue for a “vibes-invariant strategy”; that was @Mo Putera’s gloss, which I do not endorse. What I wrote was:
a good policy is to act in such a way that your actions are robust against vibe quality
and:
sure, use all the information you have access to (so long as you have good reason to believe that it is reliable, and not misleading)… but adopt a strategy that would still work well even if you ignored “vibes”
This is explicitly not an argument that you should “toss away information”.

You’re right, I mis-paraphrased. Thanks for the correction Said.
