      This part of the first comment got an audible guffaw out of me:

      I think that there’s been a failure to inhabit the least convenient possible world°, and the general distribution over possible outcomes, and correspondingly attempt to move to the pareto-frontier of outcomes assuming that distribution.

      Unintentional self-parody of the highest order.
