Talk:optimization
Latest comment: 16 years ago by Widsith in topic American?
"as good as possible" is incorrect. Optimization is when marginal cost equals marginal benefit. "As good as possible" typically means marginal cost exceed marginal benefit, indicating a misallocation of resources. An optimization of resources cannot occur if they are misallocated. It is self-defeating.
