An alternative to "Crush Your Uncertainty" is "Maximize Your Freedom". Uncertainty is not so much of a problem if you can live with either outcome.
This is not intended as a recommendation for freedom. Just puts this into a wider perspective. The need to crush your uncertainty is larger if the price of a misjudgement is higher.
The rule thus rather is: "Crush your uncertainty times cost". And I bet there are game theoretical results about that.
