It is a better summary; and I can give no better answer than, “It’s always worked that way for me before.” I think the real difficulty would come for someone who was told that they had to give up anticipation, rather than seeing it for themselves in a thunderbolt of dissolving insight.
My reasoning here is that evolution in general has very limited foresight, therefore there must be a limit to human rationality somewhere that is probably far short of ideal rationality. “It’s always worked that way for me before” doesn’t seem like very strong evidence in comparison to that argument.
