Hitting is bad

In Response To: Hitting is bad (Timothy Chow)

This... is a good illustration of the value of studying rollout data for plays that aren't the top play. For example, studying on my own, I might have rolled out 41S-54S-42 and stopped studying after satisfying myself that 42P is the best play... But by stopping there, I would have overlooked the additional information in the rollout about the relative values of hitting on the 5pt versus covering the 9pt.

Excellent point, and well said.
