Pragmatically, the main reason that has been true throughout all of history is that women are more valuable reproductively. A country can lose half its men in a war and still recover. The same is not true if it loses half its women.

The thing I’ve learned is for a new habit, it should have really really minimal maintenance and minimal new skill sets above the actual habit. Start with pen and paper, and make small optimizations over time. Only once you have engrained the habit of doing the thing, should you worry about optimizing it

My overall point being, yes people learn differently, but it is also true that there exists outliers in general intelligence

1. Shareholders are entrusting the CEO with their money to turn it into more money. Networking can absolutely be worth that much. Especially at the start up stage, the CEO is selling the ability to build the money maker, which requires knowing the right people. 2. In your hypothetical, who is deciding these high level "investments" into the company? who is accountable for their strategic success or failure?

ultimately you are right, the buck needs to stop somewhere, but at least in my experience, the more you add quality/test checks as LLM workflows, the higher the rate of success.
