I can almost swear that I was reading a post in the sequences where a statement was made to the effect that "If you already know where you think you'll end up on a decision/analysis/estimation, you should just head in that direction."
Does this ring any bells? I'd like to re-find that and have googled for it many, many ways and never found it again. It seems similar to the idea here, and thus I thought I'd ask for help here in finding it -- I really would like to read it again!
I suspect that you are referring to http://lesswrong.com/lw/jx/we_change_our_minds_less_often_than_we_think/ .
Wow -- I totally missed this comment! I just re-round this same thread, then tried to track back to this comment to let everyone know what the answer actually was... and found your answer pointing me there all along. Crazy. Thanks for the link.
