Oh, I think I read your post without understanding what “credit attribution” meant.
There are indeed two completely distinct problems of “evaluating decisions by attributing credit to them,” and “evaluating individuals by attributing credit to them.” I somehow assumed the latter interpretation when you were talking about the former the whole time. The words “credit” and “attribution” usually refer to individuals, and I also wasn’t reading closely.

Never mind.
