I would like to highlight that a naive application of the expected value perspective could lead to problems like the unilateralist’s curse and think that the post would be even more useful for readers who are new to these kinds of considerations if it discussed that more explicitly (or linked to relevant other posts prominently).
Very good point! Thanks for raising it. I think this was an important oversight, and one I’m surprised I made, as I think the unilateralist’s curse is a very useful concept and I’ve previously collected some sources on it.
To rectify that, I’ve now added two mentions of the curse (with links) in the section on the pure EV perspective.
Nice post!
