Avoiding failure
Why is trying to avoid failure counterproductive in certain situations?
Consider situations where the speed at which knowledge is acquired from the environment is important.
In this case, "quickly doing something with uncertain results and observing the results" is beneficial in increasing knowledge acquisition efficiency.
Because "To get a different result than expected." is "Knowledge Acquisition"
However, if we avoid "getting a different result than expected" by thinking of it as a failure, uncertain behavior is discouraged.
Zero knowledge gained" is achieved without uncertainty and in a stable manner.
