One example of a selection algorithm would be: “You go to a bar in Austin, you are talking with a person and you learn that for the person X is true. Is it more likely that A or B”
This setup allows me to picture an event happening in the real world and events have likelihoods.
While the ambiguity is unlikely to lead to a misunderstanding in this case, there are plenty of decision theoretic problems where it matters. When creating practice exercises you want them to be specific and without ambiguity.
I have now write up the story of cancer and have a draft, I’ll share it with you.
