Would a Traveler Sometimes Pay More to Avoid Making the Same Decision Twice?
The cost of a decision includes the need to revisit it.
Sometimes. Travelers may pay extra to eliminate repeated planning, monitoring, or reconsideration.
A traveler buys a flexible rail pass instead of purchasing individual tickets for every journey.
The hidden mechanism is decision recycling. Some choices continue demanding attention long after they are made.
A micro-scene illustrates this: every evening, one traveler researches tomorrow's route again while another simply boards the next train.
The value of a decision is not only measured when it is made. It is also measured by how often it returns.
