In your conclusion with the casino analogy, I thought you were going to make an explore-exploit argument, eg:
Once we have played all the different games on offer for a while, we will both get better at each game, and work out which games are most profitable to play. Therefore, we should play lots of games to start with to maximise the information gained.
I think without this argument, the conclusion doesn’t follow. If we are not planning to later narrow down on the best choices once we have learnt more, the case for spreading our resources now seems a lot less strong to me.
