Some unsolicited feedback: I believe I would have a easier time understanding this blogpost if it focused on some tangible examples or referenced similar ideas which are already well documented (like the Secretary Problem?). The third paragraph is particularly hard to understand and I’m not sure I grasp it
(you’re saying that while there may exist a theoretical point where more ‘optimization’ is possible—that there is a law of diminishing returns as the cost of searching for that rapidly decreasing extra-output shrinks?)
What heuristic on evaluates this at is at peril too, applied heuristic of not bikeshedding and incessant yak shaving is probably fair bit applicable here.
