It is worth remembering that human computation is a limited resource - we just don't have the ability to subject everything to Bayesian analysis. So, save our best rationality for what's important, and use heuristics to decide what kind of chips to buy at the grocery store.
I decided what college to go to by rolling a die. ;)
A random choice has long been considered a good tool to prevent dithering when you have equivalently valued alternatives.
Yeah, sometimes you don't get the tools and information you need to make the best decision until after you've made it. 8-)
I wasn't disappointed in my choice of college, but I was disappointed in my choice of major. (I followed my father's advice, and, in this case, although his advice sounded reasonable, it turned out to be just plain wrong.)
