I agree thereās a shift between the title and the first two paragraphs and the rest of the post. I think the post could be clearer about the fact that its entire work is being done by the single hypothetical use-case.
However, Iām pretty happy to see a post dig into a single specific case. I agree with Linchās feeling that a lot of forecasting win conditions are based on turning short term into long term forecasting, and was excited to see this post.
Indeed, your questions also want to dig into this example, so maybe you agree that this case is useful?
OTOH, this post does spend a significant amount of time digging into issues that seem relatively unrelated to convincing me of the question āwill something like this work?ā and indeed I didnāt read them.
I totally agree that this is a useful case to look into! I just wish that the post actually looked into it, rather than simply stating that it would be useful without justifying it.
(I also think that you could just change the title + thesis of the post to something else, and that would also be a good post.)
Thanks for the feedback! I agree the title was not great in that it poorly represented the contents, which is more like āargument via a single extended hypothetical example that was elaborated on.ā This was an issue that was brought up in the review stage, but I didnāt think of a better title after some time and decided that publishing was better than waiting.
EDIT: As an update, the title has indeed been changed.
Thanks for engaging critically! Upvoted.
