The question in the title is completely different from the question in the post. A better title would be something like “How are the EA Funds default allocations chosen?”
Actually answering the question, I don’t think there’s any reason to assume that whichever EA Funds staff member selected the default allocation thinks that this is the theoretically optimal way to allocate resources – in fact I think that’s very unlikely. So the real question is what higher-level method, if any, was being used to select that allocation.
I don’t think anyone except a member of the appropriate team at CEA can answer that. Have you asked them?
I have now changed the title of the post to be that which you suggested. I wanted it to be a question, but I couldn’t find a way to add a picture to a test in a question. Im new to this forum. Sorry.
Regarding your comment on the topic, Sam Deere from the EA Fund was kind enough to answer me directly. I have replied him here in the thread.
