Abstract
Decision making can be studied using hypothetical payoffs because it is hyp
othetical to its very core. However, the core process can be influenced by
contextual features. As there is no theory for these contextual features, a
"do-it-both-ways" rule amounts to a waste of money. If we had such a theor
y, doing it both ways would be unnecessary.
