Note: This isn’t to say that efficiency is meaningless when optimizing for multiple variables. A low cost daycare with excellent care is obviously more “efficient” in every sense than the crappy, expensive daycare. It’s just that when multiple variables come into play, people want to be “holistic” rather than “efficient” in the sense that they want to consider and weight numerous important variables.
