So I’m very worried about this. It wouldn’t surprise me to find that the striatum is capable of learning that it’s being exploited in this way and compensating appropriately. Median case is the technique just stops working. Worst case is something really weird happens to your ability to submit bids.
(Not worried enough to not try it, mind you. But worried enough to not have tried it yet out of fear.)
I certainly won’t strenuously argue that it’s definitely safe, because I really have no idea if it’s safe. But I would note the analogy to addictive and/or compulsive behaviors. The striatum doesn’t distinguish “valid” compulsions from invalid ones by default, and that’s why it’s so easy for us to get addicted. It’s not like the striatum has any way of knowing what counts of spurious input. At least, I can’t imagine why it would.
Again, not really arguing with you, really still just working through my own sense of why this works at all.
