Comment on Crush Your Uncertainty

One of us may have dropped the "naive" modifier from the VOI. I meant that doing a straightforward VOI the way you would have learned to by eg implementing CFAR's advice, would not automatically include the value of simpler models and self-calibration and other general-utility effects that are negligible in the current decision, but significant when added up outside the current context.

Also, good example of the value of redundant information. I agree that a well done VOI should catch that, but I assert that this has to be learned.
