I got a bit disappointing answers—people telling me how “this will not have impact” instead of answering the questions :) seriously, I think that it’s a 15 minute problem for someone who knows theoretical CS well. It could have some impact on a very hard problem. Not the best option probably, but what is better?
Isn’t it easier to spend 15 minutes to work on a CS theory problem, meeting new ppl, learning something ,instead of coming up with a long explanation of “why this is not the best choice”?
I’m a feminist but I’ll give a trad cis example to illustrate this because I don’t expect a feminist one to go well here (am I wrong?). In How I Met Your Mother the womanizer character Barney Stinson once had an issue. Women were calling him every minute and wanting to meet him. He couldn’t choose which one is “the best” choice. As a result he didn’t get to know any of them.

I feel it’s the same—so much energy spent on “if it’s the best thing to do” that even 15 minutes will not be spent on something new. Illusion of exploration—not actually trying the new thing but rather just quickly explaining why it’s “not the best”, spending most of the time “computing the best thing” and not actually doing it...
Am I not seeing it right? Am I missing something?
Thank you! This is definitely useful.
Also, a bit weird: nobody thought of this and there’s no previous work in this direction. Like some “perception filter” thingy from Doctor Who :)
Thank you!!!
