All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this video.This reminds me of the following scene.
⬐ A4ET8a8uTh0Eh, I will admit that I hoped for a little more after the effort I expended on this conversation. Sadly, you decided to not answer to any questions, but resorted to a.. lets call it a visual aid with little to no relevance to the conversation at hand ( which I will not comment on further ).In short, I no longer believe you engaged in good faith discussion. Fare well.
Leveled thinking is common in competitive games, for obvious reasons. There's no better illustration of what you're talking about than the poison scene in Princess Bride:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMz7JBRbmNo
The way I've heard most competitive gamers talk about the line between leveling and tail-chasing is to play at level 2:
Level 1: The obvious strategy
Level 2: Strategy that beats the obvious strategy <-- Default to this level
Level 3: Strategy that beats level 1
The problem is, if you're playing in a competitive environment, everyone knows about leveling, so you may actually gain more edge by picking a strategy randomly. I've heard competitive Magic player Huey Jensen would make random plays when he was behind on the chance he could throw his opponent off and trap them in leveling second-guessing.
