Is "demonstrably optimal policy" a shelling point or not?
Depends in the inferential distance to the "demonstrably" part. But otherwise yes, frequently even when the policy is "demonstrably optimal" with respect to something that's not quiet the right utility measure.
One hopes so, unless there is some other shelling point that clouds it. Perhaps a status quo within a local minima.
