I'm aware. Those cases all extend though. Because a lot of times the decision isn't intended to be a concrete answer.

I just had to conduct an interview. I got to talk to the person for a whole hour. And now I need to determine if we should hire this person.

I definitely have insufficient information. No interview process has ever finished with an abundance of complete information (well, if the candidate is bad enough or just screaming slurs the whole time, that's pretty complete). And yet I have to make a serious decision that has real consequences for my company AND for the candidate.

I don't get the option to gather more information. I get it. This case is not fun to deal with.

But regardless of what the company says, the question isn't "do I think this person will without a doubt be our top employee" or "WILL this person succeed" ... the question is "Given the information at hand, do I think there is a higher likelihood of the person succeeding or struggling?" I can make a decision based on "given the information at hand" ... and when I do, I always qualify it as such.

If I say yes, and they hire the person, and they don't fit at the company, I can still just point to "they answered all the interview questions properly" and it's not my fault things went poorly. I may also say no to amazing candidates who just didn't represent themselves well in the interview. Even if I cannot make a sound decision, I have to make one though.

And maybe I'm just unlucky in life, but I feel like I face a lot of situations where I need to make decisions with incomplete information just because more information isn't available, or time is truly a factor in the decision. Some of life is always going to require some guesswork. And we can just try our best to make educated guesses. There is no such thing as "complete" information.

But I fully agree with you that there are situations where some people are just impatient, and corners are cut. But a lot of neurotypicals often don't like those people too. That's not just "neurotypicals do this" ... that's "lazy/impatient people do this" and I guess I'm lucky in the sense that I rarely have to deal with this, but then again, I work in a field where basically everyone is on the spectrum.

Add haver here, I almost always know I don't have the information and understand that I am probably being impatient or "incorrect" however with many things I. Life the consequences for being slightly incorrect don't outway the effort of thinking things through for longer.

This happens a lot in group settings. "What game should we play? And everyone spends 10-15 minute waffling about this or that. Just decide one I have other shit to do and have a job. This is the only limited time I have. Or picking a movie to watch, or what restaurant to eat at, or what day we wanna meet up for an rpg or whatever.

Rather than getting all the information and making a decision my friends will often times just take long enough to decide not do anything at all or social gatherings get procrastinated for weeks.

I'd rather do something for certain than wait around for people to find a perfect solution to things that do not have perfect solutions.

How often do you spend a substantial amount of time deliberating something to only get it wrong anyway?

Now if we're talking something like the steps to repair a car or do important tasks then yes I can totally get waiting and figuring everything out.

But that's just my opinion and how my brain works.

All that said it ally value the autistic girlfriend I have because she fills in those gaps for situations. That really require further thought that I simple am not equipped for lol
