Instead of saying that a basket of options is a minimization of decisions, I would say that it's admitting that most decisions are answered with a series of statistical odds. If you can play a game where you think that the system has missed the boat on some small chunk of statistical possibility, for instance, if you think that the market is missing the potential for wealth in genetic analysis with artificial intelligence, then you push some moderate percentage of additional wealth or leverage in that direction.

This is the actual state of the world. Most real world decisions aren't actually yes/no. It's probability analysis, which is a far more difficult yet more accurate model of decision making.
