I agree with you, it is not clear from the test what you’re trying to optimize; sorting rotten fruit vs. detecting cancer in xrays are two examples of ‘visual examination’ where optimal behavior is very different.
So this only makes a good point when your confidence is not well calibrated (rather than consciously settling for lower confidence). I suspect the “impulsive” group Stenovich has in mind are people who are “sure” of the wrong answer, and do not update with feedback.

Yes, nowhere does it say whether you’re supposed to be going for time or for accuracy!
