I was wondering when someone would ask that! It comes from the Wikipedia article on alpha-beta pruning in game theory, which is about strategizing (in a CDT fashion) in a game where your move and your opponent's move alternate. So it's not directly connected to the post, but I felt it imparts the right intuitive flavor to the notion of a decision theory.
Cool, thank you. It does impart the right flavor. I really like what Luke has started with putting pictures in main posts. Something about it makes it easier to read.
