Consider a fictional king with two advisors. One predicts the next heavy rainfall will occur in 3 weeks time. The second predicts no heavy rain for the next 3 years. If your farmers need to plant crops 1 week before heavy rain, amd you are equally confident in both advisors, what should you do?
This is a classic decision-making problem that involves balancing two conflicting pieces of information. If we assume that the predictions of both advisors are equally reliable, then the best course of action is to take a middle-ground approach that minimizes the risks associated with each prediction.
In this case, one advisor predicts heavy rainfall in 3 weeks, while the other predicts no heavy rain for the next 3 years. To balance these conflicting predictions, the king should consider planting crops in two separate phases.
First, he should plant a small portion of the crops immediately, to ensure that they are in the ground before any potential heavy rain. This will minimize the risk of missing the opportunity to plant crops before the predicted rainfall in 3 weeks.
Next, the king should wait for the predicted rainfall to occur or not occur, as per the advisors’ predictions. If heavy rain does occur in 3 weeks, then the remainder of the crops should be planted immediately after the rain stops. If heavy rain does not occur in 3 weeks, then the remainder of the crops should be planted gradually over the next few months, until the next heavy rainfall is predicted to occur.
By adopting this approach, the king can minimize the risks associated with both predictions, while ensuring that his farmers have the best chance of growing healthy crops.
