For one data point, I filled in the EALF survey and had in mind something pretty close to what I wrote about in the post Ben links to. I don’t remember paying much attention to the parenthetical definition—I expect I read it as a reasonable attempt to gesture towards the thing that we all meant when we said “good judgement” (though on a literal reading it’s something much narrower than I think even Ben is talking about).
I think that good judgement in the broad sense is useful ~everywhere, but that:
It’s still helpful to try to understand it, to know better how to evaluate it or improve at it;
For reasons Ben outlines, it’s more important for domains where feedback loops are poor;
The cluster Ben is talking about gets disproportionately more weight in importance for thinking about strategic directions.
