Re: "Attempts to seek information"

The implication being that it is "irrational" to be lazy.

Something to discuss on those "definiton of rationality" threads, perhaps.

Re: "Attempts to seek information" The implication being that it is "irrational" to be lazy.

No... the implication is that attempts to seek information might (or might not) correlate with accurate answers in section D, with real-world indicators of "winning", and with other variables of interest. And that it'd be interesting to know if they correlate.
