Yeah, that's not what I was getting at.

Not for every single decision, but let's say for 10 / day.

Yes, the quantumness is the point. Let's say I'm shooting photons through a half-silvered mirror or something like that.

By the way, "there is no difference" is a perfectly acceptable answer, if it's true.

I would be astonished if it made any difference. Not least because I bet your decisions already are well enough quantum-randomized: the universe is a quantum system, after all, and while maybe most everyday things can be adequately described as <something non-quantum> plus small errors, those small errors often grow exponentially over time.
