Advice on choos­ing between two dif­fi­cult choices, from Over­com­ing Bias.

Well… if you can’t decide between them, they must be around equally appeal­ing, right? Equally bal­anced pros and cons? So the choice must mat­ter very lit­tle — you may as well flip a coin. The alter­na­tive is that the pros and cons aren’t equally bal­anced, in which case the deci­sion should be simple.

This is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek sug­ges­tion, obvi­ously — more appro­pri­ate for choos­ing from a restau­rant menu than choos­ing a major in college.
